Highlights of Milan Free Tour: The Italian Coffee Culture
Overview
With a special focus on coffee, we will visit several coffee places, and I'll share what makes our coffee special. I was born and raised in Naples, the southern part of Italy, where coffee is a ritual. The great thing about Milan is that you can experience both the northern and the southern ways of making and enjoying coffee.
Along the way, we will also discover the history of the main cathedral, the Royal Palace, Piazza Mercanti, Vittorio Emanuele II Galleria, and the
La Scala Theatre, finishing at one of my favorite coffee spots.
Coffee is not included in the tour, but feel free to stop for a good cup. Great for families, solo travelers, and groups.
