The English-style landscape of Parco Sempione is a good place to rest your eyes after they’ve overdosed on stone and architecture, and to wander the curving pathways. Walkers, joggers, local office workers with their lunches, and parents with children in tow all enjoy the park. In the summer, concerts are held here.
At the entrance is the monumental Arco della Pace, Peace Arch, and towering high above the park is the Torre Branco, designed by famed architect Gio Ponte in 1933. On a clear day, the views of Milan and the Alps are spectacular. If you like Art Nouveau, be sure to see the fanciful aquarium pavilion at the Via Gadio edge of the park.
