Parks · Porta Venezia, Municipio 1
The Giardini Indro Montanelli are Milan's oldest public park, first laid out in 1794 near Porta Venezia and later redesigned as an English landscape with a lake, artificial rocks and a waterfall. The Natural History Museum and the Planetarium stand inside the gardens, a short walk from the shopping streets of Porta Venezia.
A central, free historic garden with two dog areas, one of them fenced, and long shaded paths close to the museums of Porta Venezia, easy to combine with a city walk.
The City of Milan's official page states there are two dog areas, one fenced, and lists opening hours of 06:00 to 24:00 from April to September and 06:00 to 22:00 from October to March, with free access and entrances on Via Palestro and Corso Venezia. Dogs are off-leash only inside the marked aree cani. Facts taken from the Comune di Milano park page.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
