Kısa bir Milano seyahati ile karşınızdayız. 🖤 🇮🇹@numastays - Güne Milano’nun etkileyici pastanelerinden birinde başla. Marchesi 1814, Gattulo, Giacomo Caffe ilk akla gelenler. - Görkemli Duomo Katedralini ziyaret et. İçini veya çatısını görmek istersen önden biletini ayırmayı unutma. En iyi Duomo manzaraları için Rinascente terasına ya da Museo del Novecento’ya uğrayabilirsin. - Duomo’dan Sforzesco Kalesine yürüyüş. En büyük parklardan biri olan Sempione’de ufak bir mola. - Milano’ya kadar gelmişken Da Vinci’nin Last Supper eserini de görmek isterseniz o da buralarda. Ama biletler online satılıyor, aylar öncesinde bitebiliyor. - Keşfetmeye Brera sokaklarına doğru yürüyerek devam edebilirsiniz. En güzel sokaklardan biri Via Madonnina. - Brera’dayken Pinacoteca di Brera’ya uğramayı unutma. Bu civarda hızlı bir öğle yemeği ya da aperitivo için mekanlardan birini değerlendirebilirsin. U Barba bizim favorilerimizden. - Yemek sonrası Galleria’ya dönüş ve Camparino’da barda ayaküstü bir kokteyl. - Şehrin önemli caddelerinden Montenapoleone’ye bir yürüyüş. Cova Montenapoleone’de tiramisu. - Akşama doğru Porta Venezia’nın art nouveau yapılarını takip ederek şehrin farklı bir yüzünü keşfedebilirsin. En keyifli mekanlar Via Melzo üzerinde. Egalite, taze makarna için PastaFresca Brambilla bu bölgedeki önerilerimiz. - Akşam yemeği için Trattoria Trippa (1 ay önceden rezervasyon şart) yemek sonrası kokteyl için Sbagliato’nun keşfedildiği retro bar: Bar Basso - Günü noktalamak için en keyifli bölgelerden biri de kanallarıyla meşhur Navigli bölgesi. Kanal kenarlarına dizilmiş mekanlardan birinde kokteylini yudumlayarak da gününü bitirebilirsin. Gramm, GinO12, Tongs, Ugo, Mag burada sevdiğimiz bazı mekanlar. Bu seyahatte vaktimiz azdı, o nedenle tren istasyonuna birkaç adım ötede hızlıca giriş-çıkış yapabileceğimiz bir apartman bulmak önemliydi. Biz @numastays ‘in Loreto apartmanında konakladık.

The Sforza Castle is a true gem in Milan. From the moment you see its impressive facade, you're transported back in time. The architecture is stunning, a magnificent blend of medieval and Renaissance styles. But the beauty doesn't stop there! Inside the castle walls, a treasure trove awaits. The museums are fantastic, with collections that cater to a wide range of interests. Art lovers will be thrilled by the masterpieces from Michelangelo and Mantegna, while history buffs will appreciate the exhibits showcasing Milan's rich past. The displays are well-organized and informative, offering a fascinating glimpse into Italian culture. But the castle isn't just about history and art. The expansive gardens are a wonderful place to relax and soak up the atmosphere. They're a perfect spot for a picnic lunch or a leisurely stroll, offering a welcome respite from the city bustle. Here's what truly impressed me: Breathtaking Architecture: The castle itself is a masterpiece, a powerful symbol of Milan's history. World-Class Museums: The collections within the castle walls are truly impressive, offering something for everyone. Beautiful Gardens: The sprawling gardens provide a peaceful escape within the city. Whether you're an art aficionado, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful architecture, the Sforza Castle is a must-visit in Milan.

Don't forget to take your headphones with you because the museum offers a free audio guide which you can listen to on your own mobile. Otherwise you can purchase an audio guide from the bookstore. The castle is in good condition. And the museums inside Castle are more specific towards art and sculpture. Castle museums are free on the first Sunday of every month. You will find Michelangelo's marble sculpture, Leonardo da vinci's painting of Madonna from 1550. There is one room that was painted by Leonardo that is under restoration work right now but you can get a peak from the corner. The armory section has a variety of swords and guns. The section on the ground floor where all the marble sculpture cuttings are kept doesn't have any English information. The only problem I felt with the museum was there are very few English information boards around art work. You will find one page somewhere in every room with info. The museum walkthrough is not mentioned on the upper floor. You can walk the way you want. Need some more arrows showing directions to follow. Get ready to walk a lot. Clean and free toilets are available but there are at one corner of the castle.

The castle in itself is beautiful, and the museum very rich in content. The reason for the low rating is the terrible treatment we got from one of thr castle's staff yesterday, more precisely in the tapestry hall (see attached picture for the reference in location,). We were visiting with our toddler, who 1) is a very seasoned traveller, 2) absolutely loves museums, and 3) again, is a toddler. She was so far very curious about the content of the museum - but as she excitedly asked us "what's this?" pointing at one of the tapestries, we got shushed very aggressively by the staff (although we were not sure at that point where this was coming from). Eventually our toddler got tired and literally the second she started complaining (not crying/having a meltdown), the staff yelled at us telling us from the other side of the hall, that this is a museum and we need to get out? At this point all visitors turned around to see what was going on - note that until that point no one batted an eye/was minding their own business. The staff continued to scream at us - so my priority being to extract our toddler from the scene, I carried her and brought her outside while my husband calmly asked the staff to not yell and talk to him if there was an issue. The staff continued yelling and proceeded to follow us - at this point, my husband asked him politely and calmly, again, to not raise his voice as it will only make the situation worse - there is no point in yelling at a toddler, and he better talk to us/her parents instead. The staff shouted at my husband saying he doesn't want to talk to us and went on a rant. My husband just left him as there was no point in talking to him - a fellow visitor also pointed out to the staff that if anything, he was the one making the whole scene unpleasant for all by screaming and shouting angrily. He then started accusing us of littering, apparently, while the rubbish was not even ours (at that point my husband, toddler and I were outside already). Now, toddlers are not the quietest. And as we travel often we understand very well when places are off-limits for toddlers, we always do our research in advance and try as much as possible to understand the local cultural context and what is acceptable/less so. When we came across the castle we never saw anything on the website mentioning the museum was off limits to toddlers. If anything it was full of families - some even touched the artefacts with their kids but we knew this was for example something that would be off-limits. The hall in which the incident happened was far from being quiet with fellow visitors talking to each other as well - in fact it was busy considering it was Easter day. Again, that particular staff was the one who, in the end, reacted in a very irrational, unpleasant and unnecessarily aggressive way - when if anything one should be happy that a toddler is happy and curious in museums. Had he told us calmly from the beginning that we were being louder than what is acceptable/that this particular area was not appropriate for children, we'd be absolutely fine with it and we'd move on. This has unfortunately left a terribly sour taste and we decided to leave the castle altogether, as our experience had been spoiled by this particular staff. A shame really - as the other staff were absolutely lovely with her/us.
