Traveler reviews
Rosheen Fernando
★★★★★3 months agoHistorical monument of Leonardo da Vinci near the Milano Galleria. The statue is around 150 years old and honors one of the most important people in world history. Nice open area with plenty of seating to relax. There is also a Da Vinci museum nearby worth visiting.
Ekin
★★★★★8 months agoThe monument is located next to almost everything important in Milano!! Here, you can walk to the Duomo, shopping Gallery, Teatro of Scala, and Gallery of Italy. All walkable, all nearby. Now, given that it is just before Christmas holiday, there’s also another Christmas tree nearby!
