How do city tours in Milan work with hop-on/hop-off buses?
“City Sightseeing Milano” offers four different routes to choose from. A practical advantage: In the heart of Milan, you can switch between the lines, as their routes intersect at several points.
If you’d like to view the routes on a city map for better orientation, take a look at the illustrated overview here. Below, you’ll also find a list of all stops for each of the four lines.
We’ve highlighted particularly worthwhile attractions and landmarks in bold and, in some cases, provided links to separate blog posts on our site. Three of the four sightseeing tours officially start at Castello Sforzesco—but of course, you can hop on at any stop according to the hop-on/hop-off principle.
Is a hop-on hop-off bus tour in Milan worth it?
Yes, for most tourists, a hop-on hop-off tour of Milan is worth it, because this type of city tour is often considered much more enjoyable than exploring Milan by metro or bus.
Of course, a ticket for public transportation is cheaper than a ticket for the hop-on hop-off bus.
But riding the metro is, of course, nowhere near as enjoyable as being driven through one of Italy’s most exciting cities in an open-top double-decker bus, with the breeze and sun on your face, and the best view of Milan’s many sights on both sides of the street! And if it rains, you’re protected inside the bus and can still enjoy the ride just as much.
