Brera district walk

What to expect

Brera is a central arts quarter of narrow lanes, small squares, cafés and galleries. Follow streets such as Via Fiori Chiari and pause at Piazza San Marco; the neighbourhood is a public walk, not a single ticketed attraction. The Pinacoteca di Brera and most exhibitions charge admission. The free Brera Botanical Garden is a quiet side stop, with its own seasonal hours and occasional special closures.
