Overview

Step back in time and uncover the sensual side of Milan on this captivating walking tour through Brera. Once home to the city’s most notorious red-light district, Brera is now known for its chic boutiques and art galleries, but its intriguing past still lingers.

Your adventure begins at Piazza Beccaria, strolling past iconic landmarks like Duomo Square, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and Teatro alla Scala, before entering Brera’s heart. Wander its romantic alleys and discover the Contrada di Tett, where brothels once served artists, intellectuals, and politicians.

Along the way, hear tales of infamous pleasure houses along Via Fiori Chiari and Via San Carpoforo. One story is that of Wanda, a legendary figure who left a lasting mark on the city.

The tour concludes with a refreshing aperitif, giving you the perfect opportunity to reflect on Milan’s hidden past while enjoying its vibrant present.
