Top 5 Instagram spots in Milan

Are you in Milan just for one day and want to photograph the most significant places to create successful posts on instagram?

Below we walk you through your day literally from sunrise to sunset! 

FIRST STOP -  DUOMO CATHEDRAL

Where to start if not from the Duomo? Not only because if you're in Milan even just for one day it's one of the stops you really can't miss, but also because it's the perfect location to capture the sunrise in the city.

Furthermore, arriving early in the morning, you will be able to fully enjoy the most beautiful square of the city because it is still free from the many tourists who visit it every day!

 

SECOND STOP - GALLERIA VITTORIO EMANUELE II ARCHADE

The second stop is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, just a step away from the Duomo. With its imposing structure and its numerous shops of the most important fashion brands, it is an unmissable stop if you visit Milan and to capture effective shots. Position yourself in the center of the gallery and look up: the glass dome that acts as a roof is the perfect subject for your photo!

 

 

THIRD STOP: SFORZESCO CASTLE

With a pleasant walk (or, for the less athletic, two subway stops) you will arrive at Castello Sforzesco. Milan has the good fortune to keep a Castle, symbol of the city, which dates back to the 14th century right in the heart of the historic centre. A real jewel rich in history and art.

Once you get here, every shot will be a success! From the famous fountain in the middle of the square exactly in front of it, to the iconic Torre del Filarete at the entrance or the internal courtyards where you can find wonderful views in every corner!

 

 

FOURTH STOP: THE SKYSCRAPERS OF PIAZZA GAE AULENTI

From historic Milan we move on to the modern city! In this area you will find, among others, the most iconic skyscrapers of the Milan: the Unicredit Tower and the Bosco Verticale. The first, in addition to hosting the offices of an important banking group, is the tallest skyscraper in Italy with its 230 meters. Its famous spire is about 80 meters high!

The second is a complex of two tower blocks completely covered by more than 2000 plant species!

Due to their fame and their beauty they are real must-haves to photograph to earn a lot of likes on instagram.

 

FIFTH STOP: THE NAVIGLI CANALS

We indicate them as the last to visit in your day in Milan because here you can discover the real magic at sunset.

The alleys rich in history such as the Vicolo dei Lavandai offer wonderful views for your photos!

At sunset we recommend a cruise on the Naviglio Grande where you can also enjoy an aperitif on board. During the cruise you will be able to immortalize the waters of the Naviglio where the typical railing houses are reflected! They will be perfect shots to post on Instagram! BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE
