Luggage Storage near Porta Garibaldi

In Milan, trends are set, history is made, and art of all types is embraced. Here, Leonardo DaVinci created some of his best works, and Mussolini launched his political aspirations. City streets still brandish signs of horse-drawn traffic, and many structures have been standing for centuries. 

In this city of endless progress, though, commerce is bustling and modern facilities and conveniences are commonplace. While bouncing from one site to the next, Milan luggage storage optimizes a city visit. Whether it’s a briefcase being stored during a casual cafe dinner or a back-busting suitcase packed with designer Italian boots, you can enjoy your visit and travel like a local, even if you aren't one.

Attractions and Activities Near Porta Garibaldi

• Castello Sforzesco: Just west of the city center, this breathtaking brick fortress exudes historical significance, and for a good reason. The site dates back to the 1300s and has served as a residence and a military installation, eventually drawing an attack from Napoleon at the end of the 18th century. The castle’s been destroyed numerous times, and still, its (restored) walls stand today. Visit this popular Milan attraction, and you can also peruse a variety of museums and historic collections, including the Antique Furniture and Sculpture Museum, with rooms staged in period fashion, and the Egyptian Museum, complete with mummies.
• Duomo Di Milano: Often considered Milan’s best cathedral, this towering gothic masterpiece doesn’t even look real. Thousands of statues and seemingly miles of marble combine to create a structure dripping with dramatic details. This must-see Milan attraction served a vital role in the city’s early history, and lots can be learned during a well-planned visit. Passes can be purchased on-line or on-site and offer varied access to the cathedral’s highlights. The Culture Pass holders can visit the cathedral, the Crypt of St. Charles, and the Duomo Museum, among other interesting spots. The upgraded Duomo Pass opens up the opportunity for a rooftop tour (accessible by stairs or elevator). This vantage point provides expansive views of Milan and the surrounding landscapes, not to mention some exceptional perspectives of the structure itself.
• Parco Sempione: In the center of Milan, this park is a fantastic place to spend a sunny afternoon. Drop off every last bag at a Bounce luggage storage site, and it’ll just be you and the lush grass and greeny. Mature trees and a peaceful human-made lake make the park a popular bird-watching spot. If you want to take a break from the peace and relaxation, you can check out some of the on-site attractions, including the majestic Arco della Pace landmark and the Acquario Civico Milan, which houses dozens of fish species.
