A sunset cycle around the world's fashion capital

You can't beat an Italian sunset, and this family-friendly bike tour brings you right to the heart of Milan in the golden hours. As the sun dips beneath the horizon and bathes the city in a fiery haze, your guide will take you on a magical journey to some of Milan's best-known sightseeing spots, including Porta Sempione's Arco della Pace, Sempione Street, Castello Sforzesco, Bosco Verticale, and Porta Nuova. Along the way, you'll stop for a refreshment in an atmospheric Italian bar, giving you the chance to enjoy Milan's dolce vita with the lively locals.

Pushing off towards Porta Sempione's Arco della Pace, glide through the "Arch of Peace" (Milan's city gate) and discover Sempione Street, the most iconic street in Milan for Italian partygoers. The atmosphere at this time of the evening is alive with exciting murmurs as locals gear up for their lively nighttime antics. Cycling onwards to the Castello Sforzesco, "Sforza's Castle", you'll discover a medieval fortification unique to Milan. Once one of the largest citadels in Europe, Castello Sforzesco is a truly breathtaking sight, its underlit redbrick walls and towers seemingly ablaze at sunset. Cycle out of its commanding shadow into the historic district of Brera. Here, you'll meet some of the city's renowned artists as you soak up the bohemian atmosphere of this antiquary area.

This is all before you reach the Bosco Verticale and Porta Nuova, where you’ll see the other side of Milan- modern architecture and vibrant futurism. The Bosco Verticale is a bizarre feature of the Milanese cityscape, consisting of a pair of plant-clad towers - 'vertical forests'. One of Europe's biggest redevelopment projects, the towers of Bosco Verticale, standing at 111 and 76 meters, are covered in more than 900 trees! Your bicycle tour reaches its flamboyant finale in Porta Nuova, Europe's richest district within any city, for an aperitivo.
