An unusual tour of the city centre
Most of the tourists that come to Milan visit only one part of the city centre with its famous landmarks: Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. But this is something that you can do also by yourself with the help of a guide book. In this tour I want to show you a different face of the city.
