This a fascinating tour of contemporary architecture in Milan. Our tour guide, Anna, is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We not only learned about specific buildings but how they connect with their surrounding communities. It was an enriching experience which we highly recommend.
My wife and I found ourselves at Porta Nuova by chance as we were just sightseeing without any research. We were very impressed by the modern building and especially the Vertical Forest. We found the whole redeveloped area amazing because we didn't expect it and it looked great. Well worth a visit.
It's a wonderful and fruitful tour to know about the modern district of Milan. Our guide, Katia, was very friendly and informative as well as she could answer any questions we had regarding the past and present of Milan. We enjoyed this tour very much more than we expected!
