3. Sforzesco Castle

The  Sforzesco Castle  counts a lot about the history and culture of the city. Its construction dates from the 15th century and was inhabited by the Duke of Milan, Francesco Sforza. The Castle has undergone numerous changes until it reaches what is observed today.

In the past, the population tried to destroy it several times as it was a symbol of tyranny. After all, it was turned into a military base when the invasion by  France took place. Only after the nineteenth century did it come to be welcomed by the inhabitants.

It is currently a major tourist spot in the city that houses  museums and libraries . That’s why it’s a great tour option when you’re in this charming city.

4. Sempione Park

Right behind Sforzesco Castle is a beautiful park called  Sempione . In the past, it was the garden of that castle. Therefore, it was only frequented by the royal family. Today, it can be visited by anyone.

The place is surrounded by trees, grasses and lakes. So it is a good environment to rest and enjoy a beautiful view.

6. Vittorio Emanuelle II Gallery

If you are looking for another place full of charm to know, the tip is the  Vittorio Emanuelle II Gallery. It connects Duomo Square with Scala Square and thus forms an octagon in the center, which has a very luxurious iron and glass roof.

In that sense, if you like warmer days, July will be perfect. But be aware that during this period the city is very full. Soon, hotel prices   will be much higher.

On the other hand, you will be lucky enough to go at a time when stores usually do deals. Maybe you can shop in the fashion quad for a more affordable price?

In spring (March to June) the temperature is very pleasant. Thus, it is much better to enjoy the sights of the region.

One thing that you need to be aware of is that the city is a little still in August. During this period, many shops and restaurants are closed because of collective vacations. So consider whether traveling this month will be interesting to you.

But if you want to know the city on cold days, be aware that December is the best month. So if you choose this period, go prepared! Temperatures may be below freezing.
