The 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.

Michael Natale

Definitely visit the castle . Best purchase for the money - gets you a lot for 5€. Great art , architecture , and even some furniture right now.

Artyom Fedosov

Exciting Roman legacy in a good condition. Second must-see sight after Duomo. The entrance is free.

A 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 Naty

Very 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.

Had 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

In 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

Definitely 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 .

One 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.

A 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.

A 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 Batista

Beautiful 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€

Boaz Sachs

Amazing 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

Shivchenka

Here 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.

This 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

Estela Jiménez

The 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 .

Mariana Rodrigues

Try to visit during the day for a walk but also a quick visit during the night, with the lights it is eve more beautiful

Lissa Capeleto

The Michelangelo museum is closed on Mondays. The park directly behind the castle is the perfect place to rest.

David Chung

Good 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 .

Sarah HRB

Great and rich culture in the museum also there is a good cafe ,enjoy.

One 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).

Stephen Crocker

The architecture is very reminiscent of its Roman origins. The garden is worth exploring.

Saulius Zukauskas

Well 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.

Michelle A.

Plan at least one entire day to explore the castle grounds. It's collections are very extensive and wonderful!

Cody Griggers

Of course you have to see it, but to be honest, there are better hidden treasures to be found in Milan.

Roberta Della Peruta

Beautiful location, you can visit the castle , or you can just have a walk

Evi

Don't miss the Pieta. Although unfinished, the sentiments are so intense you will not believe it.

Stefan Alexandru

Anthony Doutte

Amazing castle with some nice exhibitions from time to time.

Stunning castle ! Worth a visit. It’s free to wander around. The museums to charge an entrance fee.

Agostina Barchietto

Really nice place to visit while being in Milano.

Irena Safоnova

Interesting to visit this castle for everybody! Enter is free, but if you want to visit museums be ready to pay) it's not so rich.

Milano è Turismo

Over the centuries, the castle has been a defence fortress, a residence, military barracks and the site of museums and cultural institutions; http://tinyurl.com/cdvzr2a

Irene Side

Nice 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-Hammarlund

Beware the bracelet scammers all around the place. The castle and surrounding gardens are beautiful, though!

loran jonak

This is a neat place. Castle has had many wartime uses but now it has museums and a park behind it.

Elliot Chance

Don't let the outside fool you, there is so much to see inside.

Theofanis Skliris
