How fascinating can it be to discover the city of Milan on a historic streetcar tour?
Milan at sunset is perhaps even more beautiful and magical, with the pinkish lights reflecting off the precious marble of the Duomo and over the rooftops of the elegant terraces where you can sip a glass of Franciacorta at aperitif hour…
But not only that, Milan is always beautiful, especially when enjoying its wonders “on the move,” wrapped in the retro comfort of an old-time car.
So how about diving into the atmosphere of the early twentieth century with a ride through the streets of Milan’s capital city aboard one of the city’s historic streetcars , reliving the Milan of the 1920s?
There are several tours you can take aboard a historic streetcar, from the evening one wrapped in soft, warm plaids, to fully breathe in the air of the Christmas festivities in the Ambrosian city, to the one ready to delight your palate even with a course of traditional Milanese risotto, saffron yellow in color, expertly cooked by our chef.
