Reviews

Don’t miss this if you’re in Milan. The pinacoteca is beautiful and filled with incomparable pieces of art and history (it’s Italy after all). There’s no need to buy the tickets beforehand (but no harm if you want to make sure). Brera is my favorite neighborhood in town and this is one of its highlights, definitely…
