An 820-Foot Skywalk Just Reopened Atop One of Milan’s Most Beloved Landmarks

Experience the Heights: Milan's Majestic Skywalk Reopens

The iconic skyline of Milan greets visitors anew with the reopening of Highline Milano, an 820-foot skywalk perched atop the revered Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

The Breaking Point

Highline Milano had been closed since 2019, but as Milan prepares to host the 2026 Winter Olympics, this stunning addition to the city's attractions leads visitors along an elevated path from Piazza della Scala to Piazza del Duomo. The reopening marks not just a return but an evolution into a cultural hub, as envisioned by a pioneering collective of young architects.

Beneath the Surface

More than a mere walkway, Highline Milano integrates environmental consciousness with historical reverence. The trail is newly lined with 200 shrubs, powered by solar installations, and offers a cinematic audio experience tracing Milan's evolution. Educational panels and terraces styled as 'Clouds' enhance this journey through history and culture.

The Ripple Effect

Along the skywalk, visitors can explore the newly opened Sala degli Orologi, an exhibition space showcasing Milan's artistic legacy through evolving artworks. As visitors stroll, the panoramic views offer a meditative pause—where the city's storied past intersects with its vibrant present, reaffirming Milan's role as a cultural engine.

Highline Milano is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., welcoming visitors to explore this blend of history and possibility.
