Porta Nuova and Bosco Verticale walk

View the tree-covered Bosco Verticale towers from public streets and nearby gardens.

What to expect

Bosco Verticale's planted balconies are the focal point of this walk through Porta Nuova, where residential towers meet newer public squares and gardens. The towers are private homes, so admire their façades from public streets. Nearby BAM — the Library of Trees — is a free urban park with paths, lawns and themed planting; it is a separate public space from the residential buildings.

Free entry

Before you go

Entry and costs

Public streets and plazas are free; the residential buildings are not open for visitor entry.

Visitor notes

This northern route pairs naturally with Piazza Gae Aulenti and Isola, but sits away from the Duomo and Navigli. BAM is described by YesMilano as wheelchair-accessible; that does not establish that every route or entrance is step-free, so check the park's current access information if you need a specific route.

Opening hours

Date-specific hours are not available for this place. Check the official page for the day you plan to visit.
