Traveler reviews
Rosheen Fernando
★★★★★a year agoThe Bridge of the Little Mermaids inside Sforzesco Castle is a lovely hidden spot. It's calm and great for taking photos of the castle. You can get there easily by metro, just stop at Cairoli on M1, or walk from the Duomo in about 15 minutes. It's right in the city center, surrounded by trees and quiet paths. Nice place to take a break. Best to go on a weekday (weekends and holidays can be busy.) A simple, peaceful corner worth seeing.

★★★★★2 years agoThis was such a sweet little pond with baby ducks and turtles sunning themselves on the rocks. My kids were a bit fed up of sightseeing around Milan and this was such a a great find as it really perked them up. There was also a little playground nearby and some amusement park type little rides.
