Description
A single ticket opens the doors to a tangle of museums inside Milan's medieval fortress, from the ancient Egypt exhibit (an unexpected sight within castle walls) to the hushed halls holding Michelangelo's last sculpture. The grounds and garden are free to wander, and the courtyards themselves feel like a step back in time. When you've had your fill of art and history, Parco Sempione sprawls right behind the castle — a generous green lung for stretching legs or letting kids run loose.
