Frequently Asked Questions

No, never: Milan rules its plain, far from any sea. The Lombard capital serves as a prologue or epilogue to embarkation in Genoa, Venice or Trieste, not as a port of call.
Trains link Milan to Genoa in about an hour and a half, to Venice in two and a half, from Milano Centrale. The two great embarkation basins of the Adriatic and the Ligurian Sea are thus within direct reach of the city and its intercontinental airports.
Many Quebec cruise passengers land here, drop their bags and give themselves the city before heading down to their ship. It avoids the stress of a last-minute flight. Two or three Milanese days turn an air connection into a chapter of the trip.
Italy's largest Gothic church, nearly six centuries in the building, bristling with pink and white marble spires. The visit culminates on the roof terraces, where you walk between pinnacles and statues beneath the gilded Madonnina watching over the city since 1774. Book online to avoid the wait.
Yes, absolutely. Access to the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie is strictly capped and must be booked weeks ahead. Make it a reflex as soon as the cruise is confirmed.
This brick fortress of the dukes of Milan gathers several museums, including the Pietà Rondanini, Michelangelo's final sculpture, left unfinished at his death and overwhelming in its fragility. Sempione park extends the visit under the shade.
The Duomo and its terraces, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Sforza Castle, the Last Supper if you booked. In the evening, Brera with its workshop lanes, or the Navigli and their waterside terraces. La Scala can be visited even without a performance ticket.
Canals inherited from the Middle Ages, on which Leonardo worked as an engineer, now lined with terraces. An antiques market is held there on the last Sunday of the month.
Saffron risotto and cotoletta uphold the Lombard tradition, and panettone, born here, can be found year-round in the historic pastry shops. The end-of-day aperitivo is the local institution par excellence, notably under the Galleria's glass roof.
The euro and Italian; English is widely spoken in this international city. Cards work everywhere, including on public transport and for train tickets to the ports.
