Stop by Palazzo Marino, the stately home of Milan's city council beside La Scala. Admire its decorated facade from the square or, on special open days, step inside on a free guided visit.
Full description
Palazzo Marino is the seat of Milan's city government and one of the city's most prominent historic palaces, standing beside Piazza della Scala. Its ornate facade is easy to admire from the outside at any hour, while interiors are generally reached through free guided visits offered around occasions such as Christmas or national holidays.
Visitors mention queuing for 30 to 40 minutes on such days, and some felt the interior was underwhelming, so expectations are best kept modest. A short stop of about 15 minutes suits most people, ideally combined with the nearby opera house and gallery.
