The audio was a little off key as when it said look left and you'll see a particular monument or something it was either too early or too late and I saw nothing of significance except what I considered photo worthy myself. It was a very hot day and of course in an open tip bus there's no air conditioning 🙃

The routes in Milan are very well planned; there are audio guides in various languages, so you immediately understand what you’re seeing and get a brief history of the building or site. We chose the yellow and red lines and didn’t regret it. Our tickets were valid for 24 hours, and we made full use of them.

This was an excellent combo ticket. Offering us the flexibility to do both the same day or over two days. We chose two days so that we didn't rush around. Would fully recommend.

Possibility to change lines and suitable connection points. We started from red line (more Historical), after that jumped to Yellow line and finished with Green line - it was close to Autobus station.

The Hop on Hop off bus is a fantastic way to see the city sights when you don't have a lot of time and you want to cover a lot of ground! It's also very relaxing to be driven around sitting on top in the open air. Great experience!

The problem of the being left to find a way back because of whst was happening at the cathedral that afternoon. Lucky we got back to the stop at the Dumo in a quick time to have one help us find a way to get back to Centrale.

Two of the four bus routes start at Sforza Castle, so the 24-hour pass effectively covers your transit to and from the city's largest museum complex.

Hop on and off across 4 routes and 40+ stops, covering the Duomo, La Scala, Brera district, Parco Sempione, San Siro, and the CityLife skyscrapers.

At Sforza Castle, a digital audio guide in five languages walks you through the seven museums, including the Sala delle Asse and Michelangelo's Pietà Rondanini.

Use the bus pass before or after your timed castle slot — the 24-hour clock starts only when you first scan on board, not from the booking time.
