Two days are ideal for a first taste of Milan. With Porta Genova as your base, superbly connected by the M2, you can plan an efficient itinerary that alternates great classics with authentic neighbourhoods.
Day 1: the old town
Devote the morning to the heart of the city: the Duomo and its panoramic terrace, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the Teatro alla Scala. In the afternoon head to the Sforza Castle and Parco Sempione, then stroll through the Brera district, with its elegant streets and the famous Pinacoteca.
First evening: back to the Navigli
Head back towards Porta Genova and finish with an aperitivo on the Navigli, followed by dinner in the area. It's the perfect way to unwind after a full day.
Day 2: neighbourhoods and design
Devote the second day to the more contemporary areas: the Tortona District a stone's throw from the hotel, the Fondazione Prada for contemporary art and, if you have time, the Porta Nuova district with the Vertical Forest and Piazza Gae Aulenti.
Afternoon: the Navigli at a relaxed pace
End the weekend exploring the Naviglio Grande, the Vicolo dei Lavandai and the Darsena at leisure, perhaps with some shopping among the neighbourhood's craft and vintage shops.
Staying here means having the centre a metro ride away and, at the same time, experiencing one of Milan's most authentic and lively neighbourhoods right outside your door.
Stay in Porta Genova
Standard rooms steps from the M2 metro, the Navigli and the Darsena. The ideal base for experiencing Milan.
