Autumn colors in Milan? Yes, absolutely! The effect is as unexpected as it is unknown, since the city is not particularly rich with green spaces. The best time to catch peak foliage is the beginning of November.
To the left: City Life Park with the three tower. Right: the "Bosco Verticale".

Foliage in Viale Mc Mahon. The suggestive effects of the “tree tunnels” that line the trolleybus routes.

Viale Regina Giovanna.

The Velasca Tower overlooks the small garden of St. Nazaro Maggiore, next to Ca' Granda.

A blend of warm colors ranging from the yellow nuances of the autumn leaves to the bright red hues of the building facades, typical of ancient Milanese architecture and the Medieval style from which the Velasca tower draws inspiration. Right: The portico of Ca' Granda.

The Sforzesco Castle and the Arch of Peache.

Sempione Park.

The Bridge of Lovers in the Sempione Park, and a pond in the gardens of Porta Venezia.

Relaxing in the Montanelli Gardens of Porta Venezia. These gardens resemble a real wood, where notable species of cedar trees from Lebanon, Himalaya and the Atlas region can be admired. The park dates back to the ‘700s and was originally designed to be used as an urban space for public recreation.

An oasis of poetry right in the city center: The English-style garden of Villa Reale
with the neoclassical shrine dedicated to Love.

The Protestant church in Via De Marchi.

The sanctuary of San Bernardino alle ossa, in Piazza Santo Stefano, best known for its ossuary, a small side chapel decorated with numerous human skulls and bones.

Foliage covering the walls of the great Liberty-style buildings in Viale Majno and Viale Bianca Maria.

Autumn colors in Via Mozart.

On the south-eastern side of the Cathedral stands the garden of Guastalla, an elegant public garden which used to belong to the Guastalla College (a sort of nunnery founded in 1555 and relocated later on to Monza).
Left, in the foreground: The Baroque balustrade that surrounds the pond, with the Palace of Justice
in the background. Right: The Velasca Tower.

Autumn in Corso di Porta Romana and Piazza della Repubblica.

Piazza della Repubblica and Piazza Piemonte, with twin buildings in an eclectic style of Mario Borgato.

The Branca Tower and the Diamant Tower.

Autumn in the night...
