Walk through Porta Nuova, Milan's showcase of modern architecture and public space. Photograph the tree-covered residential towers, cross the lively squares and watch locals dance, skate and cycle around the water features.

📖

Full description

Porta Nuova shows a different side of Milan: a regenerated district of contemporary architecture, offices, restaurants and open public space. Reviewers highlight the "standing forest" apartment buildings covered in vegetation, which draw photographers, as well as an active public life, with groups dancing, cycling and skating, and a shallow water feature that attracts families.

It is always accessible and free, and a visit of about 15 minutes covers the essentials, though many people stay longer for the cafes and bars. It works well as an evening stop when the area is lively, and it offers a clear counterpoint to Milan's classical sights.

Reviews

The area is full of shops, business offices, places to eat. Pretty, modern apartment buildings all around the area also some glass office buildings. If you have been to other places of interest in Milan, this could be something extra to explore.
