Traveler reviews
Simona P.
★★★★★2 years agoAs all parks in Milan it's not very big, but it's quiet and not crowded. San Siro stadium is also visible from the hill. There are lots of bikers and hikers going up and down the hill and people gathering at the higher parts to look at the beautiful sunset. Chill place for a walk.
Edwin Yip
★★★★★7 years agoA small hill for easy hiking and excellent for trail bikers to climb to the mountain top. Spectacular view of Milano city highly recommended for a short hike or picnicking.
