Secret Courtyards 2022

For several yet unknown reasons, Milan is full of historic buildings almost no one has access to. Perhaps, because they’re too precious or delicate and we’re hoping to preserve them (makes sense).

Every once in a while though, the public has the rare opportunity to see and visit some of the hidden courtyards in such palazzos. And this year, that moment has arrived just in time when plants & trees have finally blossomed in the middle of Spring.

On May 22nd for a limited amount of time from 10:00 until 17:30 a few of Milan’s most secret & beautiful gardens will be open for admiration.

There’s no entry fee & no need for booking—just simply free your calendar.

However, there’s the possibility for guided tours starting at €18 every 15 minutes until 16:30.
