Porta Nuova & Bosco Verticale
Porta Nuova / Bosco Verticale
Milan's new business district, where the twin Bosco Verticale towers, Piazza Gae Aulenti and the UniCredit Tower form a modern skyline.
Porta Nuova is the most important urban renewal project in Milan in nearly two decades. The Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest), designed by architect Stefano Boeri, has about 900 trees and tens of thousands of shrubs planted on the balconies of its two residential towers, making it a world-famous green building. Next to it, Piazza Gae Aulenti is surrounded by the UniCredit Tower and has shallow pools and shops, with a lovely night view. To the north, the Biblioteca degli Alberi park (BAM) is a good place to rest. The residential towers are not open to the public, so you can only admire and photograph them from outside. Walk to Garibaldi station on M2/M5 or Isola station on M5.
