Milan Skyline tour
Milan is the first city in Italy historically to have developed in height with the construction of skyscrapers, both business and residential, each with unique characteristics that we will make you known trought the Milan Skyline tour.
The first part of the coach tour is in the Porta Nuova area to admire the Business District Skyline, while the second part of the tour is concentrated in the Citylife District, the redeveloped area of the Old Fiera Milano City.
The tour starts from your hotel or other agreed location and the first visit is to the Pirelli skyscraper also called "Pirellone", built in the sixties and 127 meters high, 20 meters more than the Duomo.
Behind it you can admire two residential towers, unique in their kind, called Vertical Forest because they host about 900 tree species on their terraces, for a total area of 800-900 square meters, a metropolitan reforestation project for the regeneration of the environment and of biodiversity.
In the same area of Porta Nuova where the Milan Business District is located, we find the Diamond Tower, the Solaria Tower and the Unicredit Tower.
The Diamond Tower, also called "Big Diamond" for its diamond shape, stands 140 meters high and houses the headquarters of the Italian companies of the BNP Paribas Group.
Next to it there are two other lower buildings called "Small Diamonds" that connect with the Solaria Tower, the tallest residential building in Italy, and the Unicredit Tower considered the tallest skyscraper in Italy if you include also the Spire (so called for its spiral shape) with 231 meters in total.
The Unicredit Tower houses the headquarters of the Unicredit Bank in its 31 floors, all used as offices.
Finally, you will reach the Citylife District by coach where there is the Citylife Shopping District, a building used as a shopping center, and the Three Towers: Allianz Tower, Hadid Tower and Libeskind Tower.
The Hadid Tower, so named in honor of the architect Zaha Hadid who designed it, is also known as the Generali Tower, being the headquarters of the Generali Group insurance company, nicknamed "the Crooked" for its neo-futuristic twisted shape with 192 meters of height including the sign "Generali".
Next to it, there is the Libeskind Tower, also owned by Generali and nicknamed "the Curve", 175 meters high and used for offices.
The Allianz Tower, designed by architects Andrea Maffei and Arata Isozaki, also called Torre Isozaki in honor of the latter and nicknamed "the Straight" for its long-limbed shape, stands 209 meters and 50 floors thus obtaining the title of tallest skyscraper for the number of floors where 2,800 Italian employees of the German insurance company Allianz Group are hosted.
If you calculate the Rai-TV antenna positioned above the Allianz Tower, you reach 250 meters in total, exceeding the height of the Unicredit Tower.
