Activity Level
Though from the outside Milan may look like a modern metropolis, beneath the surface you’ll find an elegant culture rooted in a thriving art scene, dating back to the Renaissance and an 18th-century architectural boom. Delve deep into this complex and sophisticated city as you learn about its history through the artists that chose Milan as inspiration for their most prized works. As you spend an enlightening week in the design capital of the world, explore Milan’s functional art – from intricate cathedrals to spectacular courtyards – and discover how its historic architecture blends seamlessly with its modern society to create one of the Italy’s most magnificent cultural epicenters.

Keep the Pace
I like to spend much of the day exploring. Whether walking through historic neighborhoods at a moderate pace or out and about on a coach, I prefer to keep my days full. Stairs don’t bother me, and I love to keep up with the group.
