Milan: Pinacoteca Ambrosiana & Codex Atlanticus semi-private Tour

About this activity

Step into a place where time stands still. Follow in the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci with an exclusive semi-private guided tour of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, located in the authentic heart of Milan. Founded in the 17th century by Cardinal Federico Borromeo, this prestigious institution is a treasure trove of Italian culture, offering an elegant and intimate setting far from the city's most crowded tourist circuits.

Led by an expert guide, you will admire world-renowned masterpieces, including Raphael’s majestic preparatory Cartoon for the School of Athens and Caravaggio’s famous Basket of Fruit.

The experience reaches its peak in the evocative Sala Federiciana, home to the Codex Atlanticus. This monumental collection of over 1,000 pages offers a unique window into Leonardo’s visionary mind, showcasing his anatomical studies and designs for flying machines. Our small-group formula ensures a personal connection with these revolutionary works, transforming your visit into an intimate journey through art, science, and pure wonder.
