Tours of the City Walking Tours The APT Information Office, Piazza Marconi 1 (tel: (02) 7252 4300), runs a walking tour every Monday, starting at 1000 from the APT office. At a cost of €15, the two-hour tour takes in the city centre and includes entrance to the Scala. Private guided tours also can be booked. Bus Tours The only way visitors can see Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, without having advance reservations, is to take the three-hour APT bus tour (tel: (02) 7252 4300). Advance reservations for the bus tour are not possible – visitors should simply turn up at the tourist information office on Via Marconi 1, off Piazza del Duomo, beforehand and buy tickets (€30.99) prior to departure, which is daily at 0930. The tour lasts three hours and includes the Cathedral, Sforza Castle and entrances to The Last Supper and the Scala Museum. Tram Tours Reproductions of sepia photographs showing Milan’s trams are common in Milan’s bars and restaurants. One of the more charming ways to get to know the city centre is by taking the restored 1920s tram, managed by the private company STAB (tel: (02) 7200 2584; website: www.atm-mi.it/eng/tempoli/ftemplis.htm). The tram departs from Piazza Castello on a circuit that takes just under two hours. It is an ideal form of transport for getting to the Cathedral, The Last Supper, the Piazza della Scala and the Brera. Tickets cost €15.50 for a two-hour tour including stops but do not include entrance to any attraction. Commentary in English, French, German, Spanish or Japanese is provided via headphones. In summer (and winter weekends), there are three trams a day (at 1100, 1300 and 1500), while winter sees only two trips (1100 and 1300). |
