2021-03-08
Milan may seem like this highly urban, skyscraper-filled modern metropolis but it's more than that. This city, known as a fashion capital and a major business hub, also has its own share of beautiful parks. Of course, they're not necessarily the most famous places here. Visitors usually go to the luxury shops and grand churches instead of enjoy a relaxing day in the park. But the locals? The parks here are their sanctuaries. Beautiful retreats perfect for taking a break from the real world. And here are five of the most beautiful you ought to see yourself!
Milan's Top Five Most Beautiful Parks


Parco Sempione

Arguably the most popular park on this list is Parco Sempione. Located just a hop and skip away from Castello Sforzesco, one of the city's most famous attractions, this is a place that's quite literally made for relaxing and relaxing. Going all the way back to 1888, the park was constructed as a result of the people's protest against the over-urbanization of Milan. In short, the park was made to become one of the very few natural spaces within the city. And you'll see it with how lush the green fields are here, as well as the serene pond that will make you feel at peace amidst a bustling city.

Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli

With a Civic Museum of Natural History and a Planetarium inside, there's no reason why families can't enjoy their time in Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli. But don't spend all your time visiting these fascinating haunts! The park itself is a beautiful oasis of botanical bliss worth enjoying as well! Most especially the butterfly garden where you can see a lot of different species of the famous insect. And with such manicured gardens, it's no wonder many people go here during the weekends. You can even spend an entire day here since the park opens at 6:30 am and closes at 11:30 pm.

Giardini della Guastalla

Rivaling the likes of Rome's gardens, which are some of the most beautiful in Italy, Milan's own Giardini della Guastalla is such a delight! Going here is like stepping into another time, what with the old trees, the classical buildings that surrounded it, and more. If you really want to escape today's world, no other park will give you such sanctuary quite like this one. For all you lovers out there, spending Valentine's Day here is also a good idea. The park is secluded enough that you can have some fairly intimate alone time.

Parco Giovanni Paolo II

Located in the Navigli district, one of the must-visit neighborhoods of Milan, there are two main reasons as to why you should go to Parco Giovanni Paolo II. The first is the bevy of architectural marvels you'll see inside the park. Two ancient basilicas proudly stand inside this stunning garden, showing off the opulent baroque and gothic majesty of Italian culture. Secondly, with so many play areas here, this is also a place where your kids can have the time of their lives. Let them play to their hearts' content while you rest and relax because you've earned it!

Parco del Portello

Now, if you truly want to see a place unlike any other in Milan, go to Parco del Portello! While all the other parks look classic, timeless, and traditional, this one embraces contemporary style through and through. Think geometric pathways that will make you go round and round. Weirdly shaped ponds that almost look like they're an art installation piece. And open spaces that are perfect for playing with friends and family. There's simply no park quite like it in Milan, in Italy, and in the resort of the world. And that alone is reason enough to visit the place!
