We'll pass through Porta Venezia to cross the Public Gardens, where we'll also admire the Museum of Modern Art.
We'll continue walking along the elegant Viale Manzoni until we reach La Scala Opera House. And, of course, we have to visit the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and see the Duomo di Milano, the Gothic Renaissance cathedral of the city.
Finally, we'll visit Via Dante, a street full of 18th and 19th centuries palaces. Then, we'll see the imposing Castello Sforzesco, a medieval fortress built by the Duke of Milan Francesco Sforza. As the icing on the cake, we'll stop at a pastry shop to taste a local sweet!
We'll start with breakfast at the hotel and then head to Tirano, where one of the most beautiful railway routes in the world starts. Upon arrival, we'll board the regional train Bernina Express!
During the train tour, we'll travel into the foothills of the Alps and enjoy spectacular scenery with charming villages and towns.
