Michael NataleDecember 5, 2016Definitely visit the castle. Best purchase for the money - gets you a lot for 5€. Great art, architecture, and even some furniture right now.Upvoted 1 day ago- Artyom FedosovJanuary 6, 2017Exciting Roman legacy in a good condition. Second must-see sight after Duomo. The entrance is free.
Shaileshwori SharmaJanuary 30, 2016The castle is huge, so take your time navigating both inside and outside. Tip: best to photograph during blue hour or during the day. Enjoy the park extending from here in good weather.
QApril 21, 2019A beautiful landmark in the heart of Milan. Entry is free and tickets to museums & exhibitions is pretty cheap (5€ only).Plan your visit because you have to spend at least 2-3 hours to see everything.
Natali NatyApril 4, 2015Very beautiful with art gallery inside ..big big park and the view on triumphal italian arc. U can spend here some hours and u will not feel it. Different museums inside.
Estela JiménezJanuary 31, 2015The entrance to the castle is free. For the museum you have to pay. It's nice for a walk on a sunshine day. It has a nice park behind where locals practice sport and walk their pets.
Gabi BulumacFebruary 3, 2015A real Castle in the heart of the city 😱 worth a visit to take some pictures . It's free to take a walk inside but don't forget to visit the museums 😜
Carolina BatistaJune 15, 2013Beautiful castle! Great opportunity to take a lot of pictures. Watch with African guys at the entrance offering souvenirs. Though the gift shop is the entrance to the museums that cost only 3€
Two Boots and a FarwaSeptember 3, 2017Definitely worth the visit. The castle itself was gorgeous, and it's great to see all the original furniture and walls. The side exhibits are intriguing as well.- Sagayaraj IrudhayarajOctober 19, 2013Had a good trip to castle. Good one to see and it's a magnificent structure in Milan. Visit the museum to works of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. I am impressed with the collection of paintings
Michelin Travel & LifestyleJuly 18, 2013This castle was home to the dukes of Milan. It now houses the municipal art collection, including the Pietà Rondanini, Michelangelo’s last unfinished work. – Green Guide Editor
LuckyJanuary 31, 2017One of the most amazing museum in Milan! Gorgeous place that apparently the Beckhams wanted to buy :o Garden around are beautiful too! 8/10
Brandon F.January 26, 2020A great place to go if you’re on a shoestring budget because most of the grounds you can take in for free. I arrived late, but it looks like they’ve got an impressive collection of artifacts, too.
Boaz SachsSeptember 13, 2015Amazing castle that's both the focal point of the sempione park but also hosts exhibitions and events keeping it at the heart of the city
meryem t.June 30, 2017In summer there may be a concert, you should have a look and lay on the grass in a suny day. It is made for Sforza Family who rules Milan duchy. Its plans found on leonardo da vinci's nootebook
Lissa CapeletoMay 12, 2015The Michelangelo museum is closed on Mondays. The park directly behind the castle is the perfect place to rest.
David ChungDecember 20, 2016Good place to hang around, it's actually free to enter the castle compound, but of course you have to pay for visiting any museums in the castle.
Panayiotis DarrasJanuary 5, 2017Must see attraction !Walk for castello from duomo.Make a stop to small but very good cafe.Check galleries timetable before visit castello.
- Otel.comSeptember 19, 2011One of Milan's oldest castles, the Sforzesco Castle is home to great art collections including works by Michelangelo (Rondanini Pietà) and Leonardo da Vinci (Codex Trivulzianus manuscript).
Roberta Della PerutaSeptember 1, 2015Beautiful location, you can visit the castle, or you can just have a walk
Stephen CrockerMarch 23, 2015The architecture is very reminiscent of its Roman origins. The garden is worth exploring.
Saad M ™August 15, 2016magical place after exploring the sight, go and relax at the park near by .😎 🌳🌲🌴🌱😎
Beautiful castle with large park, small ponds. Perfect place for running, cycling or walking..
DaliborJune 4, 2018Interesting star shape building with many museums right in the city center. Worth to visit.
Kyriaki VasilakiJune 13, 2017Very impressive historical building, a must for Medieval aficionados and Game of thrones fans.
Saulius ZukauskasMay 18, 2019Well when you arw inside tha castle walls its okey, but if you go to the park nearby, people will start selling you bracelets, bags or whatewer. That is very annoyng.
flânerie féminineAugust 12, 2013One of Milan's most important & imposing landmarks. Obviously a must-see.
ShivchenkaJune 15, 2017Here you can come to top of tv-tower and look on Milan from the high. Castle open from 7 am - if you arrive to Milan early just come here.
Mahir TosunMay 30, 2015One of the must visit place in Milano. Don't miss this castle where place in very hearth of Milano. Entrance is free.
EviJuly 6, 2016Don't miss the Pieta. Although unfinished, the sentiments are so intense you will not believe it.
Aykut EcevitMay 11, 2018It is great to visit. There is a beautiful garden just behind. You can spend a whole relax day with your kids.
Cody GriggersApril 14, 2017Of course you have to see it, but to be honest, there are better hidden treasures to be found in Milan.
Katja M.April 30, 2015Beware of people offering you selfie-sticks, flowers and other useless stuff inside the castle yard! While one is selling you rubbish another will steal your bag.
Irene SideFebruary 2, 2017Nice place,lots of museums to visit. BUT the staff, especially the ladies at the ticket counters, are very rude, and ruined my visit. The majority of the exhibitions descriptions are only in Italian.
Luigi Santos-HammarlundMay 23, 2023Beware the bracelet scammers all around the place. The castle and surrounding gardens are beautiful, though!
With 12 mini-museums and vast archives running all the way from Palaeolithic history through to 1950s furniture, Castello Sforzesco really needs an entire day.
Stefan AlexandruFebruary 20, 2016Amazing castle! The architecture is impressive, it's free to visit, so make sure it's on your list!
Alex CurielDecember 1, 2022Stunning castle! Worth a visit. It’s free to wander around. The museums to charge an entrance fee.
Dennis Z.April 14, 2017Lots of museums to see & information to digest. The price for one day ticket is 5 euros. 3 days pass for 12euros
Michelle A.March 6, 2016Plan at least one entire day to explore the castle grounds. It's collections are very extensive and wonderful!
Sony Xperia™ FootballMarch 13, 2012Recently restored in 2005, this 16th Century castle is also home to a museum of musical instruments.
