The View Along Via Dante

Via Dante, the street you’re walking along now, links the Sforza Castle to Piazza del Duomo. It was opened in 1888 as a direct thoroughfare to the castle, no wonder it’s one of Milan’s liveliest streets. Lined with shops, cafés, and restaurants, it’s a favourite with both locals and visitors. Turn around and take in the view it offers: the castle framed in the distance, with the monument to Garibaldi in the foreground, an iconic image of the city.
