Sempione Park

Milan's largest central park

Sempione Park (Parco Sempione) is Milan's most beloved urban park, covering 47 hectares between the Sforza Castle and the Arch of Peace. Designed in the English landscape style by Emilio Alemagna in the late 19th century, the park offers winding paths, lakes, meadows, and centuries-old trees.

Within the park, visitors can discover several attractions: the Civic Aquarium, the Arena Civica, the Torre Branca (a panoramic tower designed by Gio Ponti), and the Triennale Design Museum. The park is also dotted with sculptures, fountains, and the picturesque Ponte delle Sirenette (Bridge of the Mermaids).

Sempione Park is a favourite spot for Milanese families, joggers, and anyone seeking a break from the urban rhythm. The lawns fill with picnickers on sunny weekends, while the paths offer pleasant walks and jogging routes year-round.

Walking distance from Lancaster Hotel: approximately 3 minutes (150m), directly adjacent to the hotel — your gateway to Milan's green heart.
