Tour Overview
Swap fixed schedules and crowds for a self-paced journey beneath modern Milan to find its medieval soul. You'll follow the red-brick basilicas and vanished waterways that shaped the city, from San Simpliciano and Sant'Ambrogio, the burial place of Saint Ambrose, to San Sepolcro's crypt, with its original Roman paving, and the Duomo, built from marble carried along the Navigli canals. Designed by Elisa, a Milan tour guide, the route shows how Ambrose and a powerful idea of faith built a city. GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach each stop in English, Italian, French, Spanish or German, works offline once downloaded, and you can start, pause or revisit it at any time.
