Top Culture in Lombardy

Use the free audio guide available through the official app. I found it really helpful to learn about the history while wandering around without needing a tour guide.

I found it helpful to download the Triennale app for maps and info—it saved me time wandering around looking for exhibits!

I suggest checking out the current exhibitions online before you go. Some displays change often, and you might miss something if you don’t plan ahead.

Don't skip the café! It's a great spot for a coffee break, and the views are beautiful. Perfect for some Instagram-worthy shots!

I recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid the crowds. I went on a Tuesday around 10 AM, and it was way less busy. You can really enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.

plan to spend at least 3-4 hours. there’s so much to see! i underestimated the time and had to rush through the coolest parts. don't make the same mistake!

Bring snacks or a water bottle. The café is pretty pricey and can get crowded. I ended up eating a sandwich outside, which was fine but not ideal.

Make sure to check out the Leonardo da Vinci section—it's super fascinating. I suggest getting an audio guide if you can, it really adds to the experience

My advice is to combine your visit with a walk through Sempione Park. It’s right behind the arch and a beautiful place to unwind after exploring.
