Milan Airport Rent-A-Car

1. Milan Half-Day Sightseeing Tour with Da Vinci’s Last Supper
Guarantee your visit to see one of the most famous artworks in the world, da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’. Reservations to see Leonardo’s ‘Last Supper’ are limited and sell out quickly, sometimes months in advance. Choose this best-selling tour and be guaranteed advance booking and entrance tickets. Plus you’ll take a half-day tour of the impressive city of Milan.

The Last Supper, Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, is housed at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, and has earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The famous fresco has enjoyed increased popularity since the publication of Dan Brown’s bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code.

But there’s plenty more to Milan than Leonardo’s famous fresco! Your half-day tour of Milan includes a walking tour introducing you to this stylish Italian city. Milan is the fashion world’s design capital and rivals Paris as a leading fashion center. Shopping here takes on an almost religious significance! Theater and cinema also flourish in this fashionable city, as does a hopping club scene and tempting restaurants and cafes where Verdi and other famous composers dined.

On your half-day sightseeing tour you’ll visit the glamorous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele shopping gallery and the medieval Sforza Castle. Next, you’ll tour the breathtaking Duomo, one of the world’s largest, most striking Gothic cathedrals. Some 135 spires and 3,200 statues are crammed onto the roof and into the facade. However, the tour does not include going up to the roof of the Duomo.

Lake Como is the third largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Verbano, and is ringed with scenic towns.

The mild Mediterranean climate ensures an abundance of exotic and rare plants thrive year round.

Docking at the delightful town of Bellagio, you can follow the steep lanes running up from the lake and stop at boutiques and cafes housed in historic buildings.
