Panarello

The great food tour is guaranteed if it starts with Italian coffee and delicious desserts. The network of pastry-shops called “Panarello” was founded in 1885. For almost two centuries Panarello presents a high quality and a great variety of extremely delicious desserts.

We highly recommend to taste Cannoncini (#1 dessert in all Milanese cafes; Panarello makes 30 000 Cannoncini per day!) and a brand “Panarello cake” which was declared a traditional product of Italy by the Italian Government.

La Scala (outside only)

It’s one of the most famous and influential theatres in the world. All opera lovers dream to visit its performances and all opera singers and music directors dream to stand on its scene. From outside La Scala doesn’t look very remarkable but it is compensated by rich luxurious interior, sacramental atmosphere and inexpressible energy!

If you have more free time in Milan you can visit the museum of La Scala to learn more about this legendary theatre.

Duomo (outside only)

Now we are going to see the main Milan attraction – fantastic Duomo Cathedral. Duomo is the 5^th biggest church in the world and the only cathedral in Europe which is made of white marble.

What the sculptor wanted to say by this extraordinary creation? We will try to find answers!

Sforza Castle
