What can I do here?
Enjoy the artistic flair of the area. It has gorgeous churches filled with even gorgeouser artwork. There are basilicas everywhere.
Unleash your inner cosmopolite with a casual and relaxing brunch on Corso Magenta. It has cafés, bistros, and museums.
Study! You’ll find the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore here. It holds two “largest” records. It’s both the largest Catholic university and the largest private university in the world.
Head over to Parco Sempione for some fun in the sun... assuming it’s sunny… But there’s plenty there to keep you entertained whatever the weather! The arena holds concerts and events. There’s a medieval fortress full of art. Museums, a theatre, a library, and bars, too – Parco Sempione has it all!
Feeling more progressive? Spend your day at the Museum of Science and Technology. Why, you ask? A whole bunch of reasons!
Fun fact
Heard of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci? Of course you have - it’s only one of the most famous murals in the world! You’ll find it in pride of place in the basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie. If you’re living here, you mustn’t miss it.
