Morning
There are two major museums in this itinerary, so start off early at the Castello Sforzesco when it opens at 9:30am. Work your way up to San Sempliciano around 11am, then make your way southeast to the church of San Marco.
Continue up Via San Marco to have lunch at one of Milan’s great simple trattorie, Latteria San Marco (see Latteria), then head back down the street, cross Via Pontaccio, and plunge into the vast art collections of the Pinacoteca di Brera.
Afternoon
If you’re an art fan, you’ll probably spend the rest of the afternoon at the Pinacoteca, ready for a passeggiata and dinner when you emerge near closing time. But if it doesn’t grab you, knock off after 90 minutes and you’ll have time to continue east along Via Fatebenefratelli to Piazza Cavour.
If it’s between Friday and Sunday, you can turn up Via Manin to pop inside the Palazzo Dugnani ; otherwise, skirt the Giardini Pubblici on Via Palestro to peruse the modern art inside the Villa Reale, then the dinosaur skeletons and wonderfully outdated 19th-century dioramas inside the Museo di Storia Naturale .
Finally, to round off a full and busy day, head for your dinner reservations at La Terrazza .
