Top Milan Running Routes
Historic Sights: This route takes you on a loop through the greatest sights in the city center: the old town and cathedral, the Fashion District, Montanelli Park, then back through Sempione Park and the Sforza Castle before heading back through the shopping district.

Navigli: These historic canals made up Milan's harbor. Now they are Milan's hippest district, full of hole-in-the-wall cafés and restaurants. This run starts at the Duomo and heads past Roman ruins to reach the Navigli neighborhood.

Brera/Sempione: Brera is an elegant neighborhood full of good restaurants, and a great spot for a nice evening out. And it's just a short distance from the city center. Combine that with the beauty of Sempione park, and you've got one nice run!

Naviglio Grande: If you want to see more of the traditional harbor area and its working-class roots, this run along Naviglio Grande is a great addition or extension of the main Navigli route.
