Why it is worth doing
Within a few hundred meters Milan shows its most legible transformation: neighborhood streets, local activism, a botanical park and contemporary towers without needing an architecture tour.
How to plan it
- 01
Start at Piazzale Archinto and take Via Borsieri slowly.
- 02
Reach Bosco Verticale from the Via De Castillia side.
- 03
Cross BAM along one of the diagonal paths through its gardens.
- 04
Climb into Piazza Gae Aulenti and finish at Porta Garibaldi or Corso Como.
Local tips
- Bosco Verticale is residential, so view it from public space without seeking private access.
- On Saturdays, the Piazza Minniti market changes Isola's rhythm.
- Walk in this direction: the shift from low streets to towers is stronger than the reverse sequence.
