Milan's City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus is a practical way to take in the main sights from an open-top double-decker, with a pre-recorded audio guide in up to 8 languages. Best for first-time visitors who want a quick overview before exploring on foot.
Main stops
The starting point for most routes — the Duomo and its piazza are the natural heart of any tour of the city.
The 15th-century Sforza castle and the gateway to Parco Sempione — a short walk from the Duomo and a natural hop-off.
Home of Leonardo's Last Supper. A key stop for the church exterior — Last Supper tickets are separate and must be pre-booked.
Milan's canal district — the most atmospheric neighbourhood for an evening aperitivo, usually on the main route.
The main railway station — handy if you're heading elsewhere after the tour.
The elegant square between Centrale and the centre — useful for hotels around Porta Venezia.
Hop-on hop-off past the Duomo, Castello and Navigli, with an audio guide in 8 languages.
Tickets & practical info
Adult tickets start from about €29 for a 24-hour pass, with reduced fares for children. Buses run daily from around 9:30am, with the last departure in the early evening and a typical frequency of every 20–30 minutes at peak times. Buy on board, online in advance (recommended in high season) or at authorised points near the Duomo.
Is it worth it? Genuinely useful if you have only a few hours and want a quick lay of the land. For stays of two days or more, the metro and walking are more flexible — though the bus is a real help for anyone who struggles with a lot of walking.
