Highline Milan, on the rooftops of the Galleria

Vittorio Emanuele Gallery: the drawing room of Milan

After renovation Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II soars skyward and becomes walkable with site walkways known as Highline Milano, a true 300-meter-long walkway 36 meters above its beautiful arched windows. As you gaze up at the building, you will discover a true tribute to the newly unified Italy, wonder why the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is considered the Salotto of Milan , and discover the mysterious story of the architect who designed it, Giuseppe Mengoni. From up here, you will get a closer look at the spires of Milan Cathedral, the Velasca Tower and, a little further on, the medieval bell tower of San Gottardo in Corte, but just turn your gaze around to find new wonders. From Highline Milan our guides will point out all the most striking sights to get lost in: it’s the new skyline of Milan, with the very recent iron and glass buildings of Porta Nuova and Citylife. Returning to our Galleria, from the walkways you can admire its beauties up close: decorated pilasters, statues and mosaics, as well as its pavement, decorated in mosaic with the city coats of arms and the very famous lucky bull.
