Everyone buried here has a grand monument to themselves. It is a great stroll to see the monuments as art, a park, and monuments to people by their families (or their own ego). Even the walls of cremated remains have photos and some flair to them. Bring water -- it was incredibly hot the day we went.

Strange to be recommending a cemetery but it is worth a visit. It is huge and the variety, style and size of the gravestones and monuments is awe inspiring. There are number by famous Spanish artists and others that just have to be seen to be appreciated.

A good place to go for some peace in a busy city. It's a really beautiful cemetery that is well maintained. Perfect for an early morning walk before going back into the city centre before breakfast.

A one-off experience by any standards. This is a vast area of tombstones and monuments to the 'great-and-good' of Milan over the years. An astonishing assemblage of eclectic and extraordinary small buildings and more modest tombs. Some of them are beautiful, others are weird. Not the most comfortable place to visit, perhaps, but definitely one to see.

This cemetry is now my favorite one (before Milano it was Père-Lachaise in Paris). You can discover plenty of outstanding art and really extraordinary graves. It is a quiet, peaceful, contemplative ... oasis in beautiful Milan. At the entrance (no fee) you can discover a plan with the most interesting graves. Special mention to the "Campari family" grave. Impressing and touching. Discover it at your ease as we did, without guided tour, would be my advice. Plan plenty of time.

You could honestly spend a full day here. I've always loved walking around cemeteries and looking at the history as well as thinking about people's stories but here takes it to a whole new level. The burial plots are so artistic. The photos adding to the story. Amazing place and not to be missed if in Milan.
