2. Overview/Layout
Milan has about one day’s worth of sites with the best one being Da
Vinci’s Last Supper. Most of the sites are within walking distance,
although most of Milan is covered in 1 ft by 2 ft diagonally-oriented
cobblestones. The cobblestones are faily flat but will slow you down
somewhat.

3. Overview/Layout
From the Duomo (“cathedral” in Italian), sites are layed out in the
following manner: The Last Supper painting (locals will only know it as
“Cenacolo”) is 1 mile to the west, the Sforza Castle is ½ mile to the
northwest, the Via Brera neighborhood is ½ mile to the north, and the
train station is 1 ½ miles to the northeast.

4. Getting There
The main train station is called Milano Centrale and is located 1 ½ miles
northeast of the Duomo. There are two airports: the Malpensa is the
international airport and the Linate is a smaller airport. From the
Malpensa airport, you can take the 30 minute Malpensa Express train to
the Cadorna train station near the Sforza Castle (this station is actually
closer to the Duomo than the main Milan station is).

5. Getting Around
You have several options for getting around. Most of the sites are within
walking distance of the Duomo. The exception is the main train station
which is about 1 ½ miles away. Some of the metro stops are accessible.
All of the buses have lowered floors with ramps that usually work. The
new trams are fully accessible; the old trams are not.

10. Tourist Sights
The Last Supper (which the locals only know as “Il Cenacolo”) – You
need to make reservations months in advance.

The English tours typically start at 10:30 am and you will need to be there
by 10:10 am. The Last Supper is on a wall inside the Refectory of the Santa
Maria della Grazie. It is humidity controlled to ensure its preservation, and
you will only be allowed to stay inside for 30 min. There is a single step at

11. Sforza Castle
The castle was originally built in the
14th century and expanded in 1450 by
Francesco Sforza (Francesco was a
contemporary of Cosimo de Medici
who founded the Medici political
dynasty in Florence). The main
attraction is the Pinacoteca (art
museum) which holds Michelangelo’s
unfinished, last sculpture. After you go
through the main gate, you will pass
through a large courtyard. After you
pass through the courtyard the
entrance to the Pinacoteca will be on
your right and there is a single large
step.

12. Sforza Castle
The rest of the museum is accessible. Of course, the one exception is
the main attraction! Once you get to the armor exhibits tell the guards
you want to go to the Michelangelo statue. You will exit a door with a
couple of steps, proceed straight ahead over the path, and down the
driveway to the lower level. A guard may need to let you in the door,
after which turn left to the elevator to the Michelangelo statue.

13. The Parco Sempione and the Branca Tower
The park is located behind the Sforza Castle. The paths are hard and
nearly flat and made of crushed rock that is wheelchair friendly.
Sage Recommendation – Grab a sandwich and a beer from one of the
food vendors in the park have a leisurely lunch.
Duomo – The cathedral in Milan is a medieval not Renaissance design
and consequently looks much different than many other Italian
cathedrals. There is a ramp at the entrance. There are two flights of
stairs to get down to the crypt.

14. Hotels
Hotel Brianza is not very accessible. There are single steps up and down

bathroom.
