Sandwiched between Corso Massimo d'Azeglio and the River Po, sweeping green-ways make a perfect place to sunbathe, play with the kids or dog, play music and enjoy a beautiful day. On the south end of the park, across from Borgo Medievale, is a beautifully designed garden including many pathways and water features running throughout. Walking the road that runs along the river are many cafe kiosks where you can stop for a sandwich, coffee or soda. The path also dips down toward the river providing places to sit at the waters edge. Be sure to take a walk through the medievale village. Vendors were selling balloons too! On the north end of the park, near the Vittorio Emanuele tram stop, we encountered several people sitting or standing around who appear to be 'scoping out' the persons walking by. On our first visit we walked around this area and followed Corso Vittorio Emanuele to the river. On my second visit I made the mistake of walking toward the tram stop inside the park and was accosted by some of these men. I do not wish to dissuade you from visiting this beautiful park. I just want to caution you, if you get off at this tram stop, walk down the main road to the river to enter the park across from Corso Cairoli or walk south along Corso d'Azeglio before entering.

Some taking in the sun whilst others enjoying a drink or a meal at one of the many kiosks, cafes, make shift bars, proper bars and other such places. A great place for people watching and taking in the sun. It's a very local park and you don't see a ton of tourists there. As the afternoon went on it got busier and busier. You can rent bikes and pedal or go boating in the river.

There are activities for the kids to do, and mini rides. Lots of statues as well. Very clean for Italy as well. It's not the largest park, but still very large if that makes sense.

Parco Sempione is such a gem of a park! This was my favorite place to visit while in Milan. I…read morevisited this park multiple times during my trip, and every time was magical. This is a huge park that's filled with several of Milan's prominent landmarks as well as a plethora of beautiful green space. The park often holds large events and gatherings. I came during the May Day celebration and watched the live performances and colorful parades. Everyday there was a different live performer in the park, all were so talented and entertaining. The walking paths are fun and relaxing. This is an excellent place to take a walk and admire the scenery around you. I also have to mention how friendly the people are here. I met so many great people at this park, from locals to other visitors. So many amazing picture opportunities here too. The green spaces are so gorgeous! From the ducks swimming in the pond to the lovely wildflowers; there is something for everyone to enjoy here. Your steps away from the castle, the clocktower, and the beautiful arch. So many sculptures in the vicinity to check out as well. Picnics are popular at this park as is people watching. You'll find street vendors on site selling souvenirs, handmade arts and crafts, and delicious street food. I mean, you can never get bored here honestly. There is always something going on and always something to do.

Named after Francesco Melzi d'Eril who built the mansion on the grounds in the early 1800s, the gardens feature countless species of plant life.

This is certainly the best point of interest in Bellagio!

After saying a prayer in Chiesa di San Gregoria Magno (of course, I had to go inside), our family walked through what initially looked like a preschool. Instead, we had found this gorgeous park. Established in 1784, it is the oldest city park in Milan. Today it covers 43 acres and includes museums, gardens, statues and monuments like the Planetarium and the Natural History Museum. The park was renamed in 2002 for Indro Montanelli. He was a popular journalist who relaxed in the park on his daily travel to work. He was shots by a terrorist brigade in 1977. His statue is placed where this event occurred. Take time to explore Milan. You may venture and find a local gem, like this public park, along the way.

The park includes a large number of monuments and memorials. The Modern Art Gallery is adjacent. I was here for a good hour before and after my visit to the Art Gallery. It's a comfy spot to people watch. [Review 10719 overall, 487 of 2019.]

We had an amazing tour from park guide/ geologist Dr. Donnatella Reggiori. She showed us two paths: one starts from the Mulino del Ghitello to the Mulin del Canaa and the second one form the Mulin del Canaa to Ghitello. The geological contents of the Breggia Gorge makes the park one of the most important geo-topes in Switzerland. Along the river you can see the geology profile that is continuous between the Jurassic and the Tertiary periods. If you look closely, you can see evidence of the ancient seas in the rocks of the Gorge: layers extremely rich in fossils, remains of underwater landslides, witness to climatic changes in eras long before man appeared on Earth, and proof of volcanic eruptions. Dr. Reggiori will give you a full lesson in Geology on the tour. Make sure your kids take notes, they may be able to get extra credit in school :)
