Savona Shore Excursion - This private shore trip visits Milan to see the classic sites such as the Castello Sforzesco (fortress), the Mercanti Square, the Vittorio Emanuele II Arcade (Shopping Galleria), the Scala Square (Opera House) and also an interior visit to the famous Cathedral.
You are met in Savona by an English Speaking driver who transports
you to Milan. When you arrive in Milan you meet your licensed guide who
will lead you on a private 3 hour tour of Milan's classic sites. Your first stop today is Milan's castle, known as the Castello
Sforzesco and dating back to 1300. The castle is located right in the
city center and it's courtyards are one of the city's parks so you are
free to take a stroll through it. If you are staying in Milan for a few
days, you might consider coming back to visit one of several museums
which are located inside the castle interior.
Next you see the La Scala Opera House. The opera house opened in 1778 and is one of Italy's top historic opera houses.
Nearby you have the chance to walk through the Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele. This was the first and still the finest glass covered shopping
street in the world, dating back to 1865. Milan stands shoulder to
shoulder with Paris as the undisputed capitol of fashion. Stores feature
designer goods that are an essential point of reference for those
privileged travelers who want to keep their finger on the pulse of
world-class trends. Maybe your budget does not allow you to do some
shopping here but you still want to see what is trendy in the world
today.
Your final stop is the largest
gothic cathedral in the world. The Milan Cathedral, or Duomo, dominates
the main square and it dates from 1418.
Following your tour you have 2 hours of free time to enjoy lunch in one of the many nearby cafes or restaurants. You might also choose to take the elevator to the
rooftop of the cathedral for views over the city and a close up look at many gothic
statues.Or maybe the shopping gallery will draw you back in!
After your free time, your driver will bring you back to Savona.
