What to expect

Have a memorable experience with your private guide by walking inside the Duomo, visiting the cathedral and the crypt, unveiling the gems hidden inside of it, and admiring the city from above!

This experience is part of Iconic Insiders, a selection of tours designed for first-time visitors to uncover what matters and get oriented in a new city. Your destination insider is a licensed guide who will offer recommendations and highlight the most visually attractive places of the itinerary.

The Duomo is one of the most iconic buildings in Milan, the true symbol of the city. While walking through the main aisle you will be introduced to the history of the city, to the artistic and architectural features of the church, to its countless paintings, statues and stained glass windows, and also to its many anecdotes and legends, its pagan elements such as zodiac symbols and to the many hidden secrets this place still hides! The tour will proceed downstairs to the basement: you will visit the crypt under the altar, where the ancient tomb of archbishop Carlo Borromeo is located.

Then, you will use the elevator to head up the steepest part of the cathedral to reach the first terrace, saving you 200 steps. Walking on the rooftops, you will see the skyline and your guide will show you the buildings which you can admire from the top, witnessing the life of the city in constant motion on top of its most emblematic monument.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Verdin jalanjäljissä

Giuseppe Verdi tunnetaan yhtenä 1800-luvun vaikutusvaltaisimmista oopperasäveltäjistä, ja hänen teoksensa ovat edelleen erittäin suosittuja. Hänen tunnetuimpiin oopperoihinsa kuuluvat La Traviata, Rigoletto ja Aida, jotka kertovat kukin hyvin erilaisen tarinan, mutta joissa kaikissa esiintyy dramaattista musiikkia ja tunteiden voimakkuutta. Kierros Verdin Milanossa tuo esiin hänen musiikillisen neroutensa ja paljastaa hänen omistautumisensa italialaisen oopperan maestroksi. Tutustu perintöön, jonka hän jätti Milanoon, kaupunkiin, jota hän sekä rakasti että inhosi, vierailemalla Fondazione Giuseppe Verdissä, talossa, jonka oopperamaestro rakennutti eläkkeellä olevien taiteilijoiden ja muusikoiden asunnoksi. Täällä pääset tutustumaan Verdin ja hänen vaimonsa elämään, kuten heidän henkilökohtaisiin tavaroihinsa, kalusteisiinsa, taidekokoelmiinsa ja viimeiseen leposijaansa. Sen jälkeen pääset tapaamaan Casa Verdin nykyisiä asukkaita, joista monet ovat kansainvälisesti tunnettuja taiteilijoita. Pääset myös katsomaan National Geographicin matkustajille järjestettyä esitystä, jonka pitää yksi asukkaista. Toiseksi viimeinen pysähdyspaikka on La Scala -teatteri. Vieraile museossa, käy kulissien takana ja kuule Verdin suhteesta teatteriin. Kierroksen päätteeksi seuraat Verdin jalanjälkiä nauttimalla tauosta Grand Hotel et de Milanossa, jossa Verdi asui 27 vuotta viimeiseen hengenvetoonsa asti.
