CityLife is one of the most transformed neighbourhoods in Milan in recent years: from the city's historic fairgrounds area to a contemporary district with signature architecture, a large urban park and an open-air shopping centre. Here is what is worth seeing.
CityLife's most recognisable symbol is the Tre Torri, designed by three international star architects: Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Daniel Libeskind. The towers are visible from much of the area and represent Milan's newest skyline, different from the better-known one at Porta Nuova.
CityLife's public park is one of the largest created in the city in recent decades: a green area designed for everyday neighbourhood life, with pedestrian paths and spaces for outdoor activities. It is a good starting point for a walk after a day of work or at a fair.
At the foot of the towers is the CityLife Shopping District, a commercial hub with shops, dining and leisure spaces. It is convenient for guests staying in the area who want to shop or take a break without travelling into the historic centre.
For guests who want to experience the neighbourhood at an easy pace, Admiral Hotel is a few minutes' walk from CityLife, with MiCo and Corso Sempione also easy to reach without needing transport. On that page you will also find how to get to CityLife by metro.
