* Less than an hour's drive from Milan is the beautiful Monza. Here we will visit the Royal Villa, built by order of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria in the 18th century and see the Royal Gardens with their magnificent roses. Our tour will continue at the Duomo Cathedral and its Treasure Museum. Founded in the 6th century by Queen Theodolinda of the Lombards, the Duomo became a repository of ancient precious stones and pearls, and its most famous value is the Iron Crown of the Lombard Kingdom. This particular crown has been used for centuries in the coronation ceremony of Italian emperors and kings. Then we will walk through the city center, admiring the windows of elegant shops, because Monza is also an ideal place for sophisticated shopping. Finally, you can walk around the huge park with the most beautiful landscape and feed the numerous squirrels.
