    Beautiful Castle

    You should visit this beautiful castle...But there is nothing to see there apart from the courtyard...I would be much better if you could visit the inside and the towers...Finally It is free

    Huge castle with many museums

    One of the most iconic and beautiful monuments in Milan. Built in the 15th century, by Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan it now hosts several art collections and the city's museums. Due to its size I had to see it only 4 hours, however...More

    Impressive castle

    Castello Sforzesco is an impressive castle. We enjoyed walking around the campus. We didn’t enter the museums there. If you are near, you should have a quick visit.

    Worth a Visit

    Collection of museums. Could be more user-friendly with better signage. FREE! Medieval art and Renaissance paintings are in the collection. Also decorative art like furniture.

    If this is what you’re into, a definite must!

    If you’re interested in architecture and history, this is definitely the place for you, plenty museums to choose from, and at very good prices. So much to see, and beautiful park at the back entrance of the castle.

    History Refined

    Extensive works carried out on the castle in 2012 have really allowed the architecture to shine. The castle is free to walk around and explore, you pay only for the museum entry, I believe it was 5 euros. Works by Michaelangelo are on display. The...More

    The ideal visit for a rainy day!

    The Castello Sforzesco is well served by public transport: there is a metro station a couple of hundred metres from the castle entrance. The grounds can be visited for free, and the impressive architecture of this great Renaissance fortress enjoyed. Inside, not one but five...More

    The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square
    is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon
    of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds
    to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria
    Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high
    quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch
    expedition into a royal experience. Head to the

    Hello. Nope, I didn't see any. I think it will be better if you can leave it in the hotel or in the train stn. If you are looking to get the bus tour, you may ask the guide.
