An unexpected delight to be honest. I wasn't familiar with the place and got the tickets thinking it's just a historic castle without high expectations, but when you go inside and start the museum tour, it's a whole new world, some of the most unique and beautiful pieces i have ever seen in my life. There are several parts to the museum such as decorative furniture, egytian arquitecture, etc. but one of them stood up the most in my eyes and it was the paintings rooms, over hundreds of old and unique paintings that makes you stand in front of each one for hours and just look at them and admire them. If you have never been to this place i highly recommend it, definitely on the top of my list of things to see in Milan.

Great place to spend time at. Reserve minimum 3-4 hours to fully enjoy not only Castello's museum but also beautiful PARK Semptione around, where you can ralax sipping delicious coffee and observing Milan slowmotion weekend life. Missing it!

Nice experience. But confusing info didn't explain well that we had to exchange the online ticket for a paper ticket. So we had to walk all the way back to the office... Also wasn't clear that to used the audio guide you had to download Headout app AND you had to have your own headphones or earbuds...

Easy entry, but the castle is more like a museum where all eras are mixed together. No leaflet to guide yourself inside the rooms. A bit disappointed.

The view from the Piazza is so spectacular, that we chose to have a quick lunch which provided us with front seats to the incredible architecture of the forteress. Inside the Pinacoteca, every object is a masterpiece and the paintings, particularly those with mythological subjects, are quite striking. The lavatories, on the other hand are a disgrace.

Our tour guide David was exceptional. Knowledgeable and very easy to talk to throughout the tour. The pace was just right and got to see so much of the castle, tower and surrounding gardens. Thank you for a great morning .

Everything was great! Unfortunately one of the museums was close but out of your control.
