Milan Coffee & City Highlights Free Tour
Overview
This walking tour brings together the city’s highlights and the culture behind Italian coffee. Growing up in Naples, coffee has always been part of my daily life. In Milan, you’ll discover a unique contrast: the meeting point between southern intensity and northern elegance in the way coffee is enjoyed. As we move through the city center, we’ll explore both history and flavor. From the medieval atmosphere of Piazza dei Mercanti to the impressive Duomo di Milano, passing by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the famous Teatro alla Scala, with stories that also touch on Leonardo da Vinci—you’ll experience Milan beyond the surface.
3 coffee stops (2 optional, 1 free tasting).
Arrive 10 minutes early (booking time is the start time of the tour).
A €2 rental (preferably cash) is required for a radio headset, allowing you to follow the tour clearly at all times.

Our Guides
Meeting point
Piazza dei Mercanti - LOGGIA DEGLI OSII next to the ancient well - I'll be standing with my PINK UMBRELLA
On arrival
How to get to Piazza Duomo: from the central station, take the subway line 3 (the yellow one) and stop at Duomo, or you can also take the red line (line 1) to stop at Duomo or Cordusio.
From Piazza Duomo or Piazza Cordusio the meeting point is a minute walk: PIAZZA DEI MERCANTI - on Google Maps, write LOGGIA DEGLI OSII - it's right behind the lodge at Piazza dei Mercanti and next to the KFC. I'll be standing next to the ancient well holding a pink umbrella.
Please, try to arrive 10 minutes before so we can start on time. I'm sure you all have plans after the tour. Please consider that there will be other guests. Let's also be respectful of their time.
Things to note
• Bring 2 Euros (preferably cash) to rent the radio headset to enjoy the tour even more. The radio has to be returned at the end of the tour.
• Be punctual - arrive 10 minutes before the tour (we start at the tour time).
• Confirm your participation in the tour (I'll send you a message the day before), we won't be waiting for you.
• Bring love for coffee and history, and if you think that 3 coffee stops are too much, this is not the tour for you.
