A self guided audio 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.
The opening lines of a few narrations, straight from the tour.
"You can feel the sheer scale of this place as you walk past it."
"When you look at these massive walls, you are seeing layers of history."
"You are standing right where so many great performances have taken place."
"You are standing in Piazza degli Affari, right where the Italian stock exchange is located."
"Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan."
"Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore."

A tight loop through the cathedral square taking in the Royal Palace, hidden medieval streets and the elegant churches that surround the Piazza del Duomo.
From the grand fortress of the Sforza dynasty through three centuries of art collections and out to the design landmark of Triennale, with the Sempione park always in view.
Begin at the world's most storied opera house, linger in the piazza that bears its name, and follow a short arc of museums and lively squares toward Piazza Cordusio.
A quiet wander through the oldest layer of central Milan, where Roman street plans survive and baroque churches stand shoulder to shoulder along narrow lanes.
Walk from the refectory where Leonardo painted his masterpiece through the science museum, past the Roman columns of San Lorenzo and on to the ancient basilica of Sant'Ambrogio.
Follow the city's postwar and contemporary towers north from Piazzale Loreto through the Porta Nuova business district to discover Milan's ambitious reinvention in glass and concrete.
