    To spend time with the great Renaissance genius you must transgress the division between north and south Milan.

    Begin the day’s itinerary at the Cordusio metro stop, then walk west on Via Meravigli three blocks to the corner with Via S Maria alla Porta for a cappuccino at Pasticceria Marchesi. Continue west, and pop into the Museo Archeologico (see Civico Museo Archeologico) for 20 minutes of historical musing.

    Make reservations long in advance for a 10am admission to the Last Supper (see Santa Maria delle Grazie). Take time to fully appreciate Leonardo’s art.

    Go east along Corso Magenta to Via Carducci to relax at the Art Nouveau Bar Magenta and enjoy an early lunch.

    Afternoon/Evening

    Turn down Via Carducci four long blocks to Via San Vittore (you’ll see across the street the Pusterla di S Ambrogio, a remnant of the medieval city gates) and turn right for the Museo della Scienza (see Museo Nazionale della Scienza e delle Tecnica – Leonardo da Vinci).

    At around 3:30pm double back along Via S Vittore to S Ambrogio. Trek down Via Edmondo De Amicis to Corso della Porta Ticinese, where your first stop is the magnificent San Lorenzo Maggiore . Peruse the works in the Museo Diocesano, then continue to Sant’Eustorgio.

    A block south brings you into the bar and restaurant zone of the Navigli, ready for a post-itinerary drink and a superb meal (see Shops and Nightspots in Southern Milan, Places to Eat in Southern Milan).
