Milan Family Trip

Science museum, dinosaur skeletons, San Siro stadium and the Monza Royal Villa park, an easy-paced Milan itinerary for families with kids.

A slower pace with one or two highlights a day: the cathedral rooftop, the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology and a San Siro stadium tour, the Civic Natural History Museum and Sforza Castle with Sempione Park, the Monza Royal Villa park and F1 circuit, and a canal cruise on the last day. Stay in the Porta Nuova district, where Metro lines M2 and M5 reach most sights directly. Suited to families with school-age children or fans of football and motor racing.

Midsummer is hot, so schedule parks and outdoor activities for spring or autumn. San Siro stadium tours are not offered on match days.
