General information on the 'hop-on, hop-off' bus tours of Italian cities.
Guided bus tours, Milan, Italy
There are two tour routes for Milan; very roughly speaking they both take in the centre of the city (the Cathedral, La Scala Opera House), with one heading south out towards S. Ambrogio and the Parco Basiliche and the other heading further north towards Piazza della Repubblica and the central railway station. Both tours last roughly 90 minutes, and both head off from the bus terminal in Piazza Castello, outside the Castello Sforzesco.
The routes criss-cross and run alongside each other at multiple points, and you are free to switch from one route to the other as many times as you wish. Tickets are valid for 48 hours and both routes. The accompanying audio tour is available in 8 different languages (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese and Chinese). The tours operate on a 'hop-on, hop-off' basis, meaning you may leave and subsequently rejoin the buses wherever and whenever you like! You can download a detailed route-map (PDF) here.
