Guided walking tours in December - Season's Greetings

Choose the perfect walking tour for your Christmas Holiday in Milano:

- Milano's Highlights - a tour of the places you can't miss: the imposing Duomo, the elegant Sforza Castle, La Scala Opera Theatre, and much more.

- Christmas Special - the ideal mix of pastry shops, ancient monuments, and typical groceries. The quintessential gourmand tour.

- Shopping Safari - be prepared for an exciting safari in the Milanese fashion jungle.

And the winner is... Miuccia Prada!

For the first time in its history, the British Fashion Awards have celebrated an international designer, awarding Miuccia Prada the honour of International Designer of the Year.
Prada, the quintessential Milanese lady herself, had already been named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century.

The history of Prada begins in Milano, in the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, where Mario and Martino Prada opened their first leather shop in 1913. They soon reached stardom, having among their clients the Italian royal family.
This year, one century after its birth, Prada has renovated its first store and added a menswear shop right in front of it, designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi.
In the next future a restaurant will also be opened, and spaces for public events will be added upstairs, enjoying a fantastic view on the Galleria.
