Milan

A self-guided audio walking tour of Milan.

Milan moves with an energy that is all its own. Behind the polished facades of the fashion district and the grand shadow of the Duomo, there are quiet courtyards, hidden gardens, and neighbourhoods that slow you right down. The city rewards the walker who drifts off the main streets and lets the afternoon take its time. In the app, 100 stops in Milan are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
