Autumnal walks in the heart of Milan

Senato Hotel Milano, with its central location, is an ideal starting point for those who want to discover the best of the city, and autumn in Milan is a time of refined beauty. 

In this first itinerary, we start from Brera and travel through some of the most fascinating, and sometimes lesser-known, places in the center to the futuristic Piazza Gae Aulenti, revealing the coolest side of Milan. 

Departing from Giardino Perego: A Corner of Peace
 
Not far from Senato Hotel Milano, the Giardino Perego is an oasis of tranquillity before plunging into the vitality of Brera. Its tree-lined avenues and intimate atmosphere are perfect for starting an autumn stroll with the right vibe.

At Brera: A Cultural Immersion
 
We begin at one of Milan's best-known cultural centres, the Brera Art Gallery. In autumn, the soft light enhances the timeless beauty of Brera's historic buildings, creating an evocative atmosphere. Hidden behind the Pinacoteca is the Orto Botanico, a garden that is one of Milan's best-kept secrets. In autumn, the warm colours of the leaves and the tranquillity of the place offer an ideal refuge from the chaos of the city.
 

A Walk among the Flowers: Via Fiori Chiari

Just a few steps from Brera, Via Solferino is a concentration of style and history. Here you'll find independent boutiques and historic bookshops, as well as famous haunts loved by the Milanese, where you can stop for a meal or a glass of wine.

Corso Garibaldi: Tradition and Innovation

Piazza Gae Aulenti: The Contemporary Finale
