We really loved the tour; we hadn’t been to Torre Branca before, and it was a unique experience. The guide was friendly and funny, and gave us a great explanation of everything we visited.

The visit to Sforza Castle in Milan was absolutely superb. Stately and steeped in history, the castle captivates you with its grand architecture and vibrant atmosphere. The highlight of the visit was seeing Michelangelo's Pietà Rondanini - his last and most moving work. Fragile, profound and full of meaning, the sculpture conveys an emotion difficult to put into words. A memorable experience, which I highly recommend to anyone coming to Milan.

Smooth entry. The audio guide download did not work but we weren't very interested in it so it was ok

There is so much to see, you really need 3-4 hours to take it all in. Best to use the audio guide as not everything has signs.

Explore Milan’s Castello Sforzesco with reserved museum entry, exhibitions access, and your choice of audio guide or small-group tour.

Getting started

Enter Castello Sforzesco after validating your ticket at the entrance. Follow on-site signs to the museum entrance where staff will direct you toward the Castle Museums and current exhibitions.
