Rana Afify
★★★★★3 months agoA beautiful and mesmerising place. I went during the Milan design week where Gucci held its installation. Great installation and I imagine the place still being that mesmerising without the design week. Totally recommend going to chill and take a break from the city.
John Stevens
★★★★★2 months agoThe botanical gardens were a most beautiful haven in the midst of a hot bustling Milan. You should go out of your way to visit them if you can, the care and beauty of the collection is stunning. A captivating time in the botanical wonders of nature. Well done the team who care for this oasis of calm.
