Mediocre experience inside. The library without books, the rooms with almost not furniture, in lack of the latest the upper flow is filled with modern art that fills completely out of place with few exceptions. Some of the photos here on Google were a bit outdated or misleading for our visit. At the same time, with noticing that you only pay 10 EUR for the entry ticket, so you don’t loose much. During our visit, the English tour wasn’t an available option, while the Italian one included in the ticket price.

The entrance ticket costs €10 and includes a guided tour. What’s special is that instead of just one guide, there are 4 guides located in different rooms of the Villa, each explaining the history, architecture, and details of the palace. When I visited, the explanations were only in Italian (not sure if tours are also available in other languages, maybe depending on the day or group). The tour of the Villa Reale itself takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. If you also want to explore the exhibition about the Second World War and the second floor with additional rooms showcasing modern art, then plan for around 2 hours in total. Booking your timeslot online is recommended on weekends. To explore the park around the building a bicycle is advised.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Royal Experience at Villa Reale, Monza! Visiting Villa Reale in Monza was more than just a trip—it was a journey through history, wealth, and the art of longevity. Walking through its grand halls and stunning gardens, I was reminded that true success isn’t just about wealth but about vision, structure, and well-being—principles that have shaped great leaders for centuries. 🏰 A Masterpiece of Strategic Thinking – Every detail of this palace speaks of careful planning and an empire built on foresight and purpose—just like any successful business or legacy. 💎 Luxury Beyond Material Wealth – Villa Reale embodies the idea that true abundance isn’t about excess, but about access—to beauty, serenity, and a lifestyle that prioritizes quality over quantity. 🌿 A Lesson in Longevity & Prevention – The historical elegance of this place reminds us that those who thrived understood the power of sustainability, clean living, and holistic well-being. The same principles apply today—investing in health, clear thinking, and conscious choices is the true key to abundance. If you are an entrepreneur, visionary, or someone who values success, history, and holistic well-being, this is a must-visit destination. Villa Reale is not just a palace; it’s a living lesson in wealth, leadership, and lasting impact. ⭐ Highly recommended for those who seek inspiration and timeless wisdom. #VillaReale #5StarExperience #HistoryMeetsLuxury #WealthAndWellBeing #EntrepreneurMindset #LongevitySecrets #SuccessAndHealth

Villa Reale in Monza is a lovely spot for relaxing, picnicking, or jogging surrounded by nature. It's spacious, peaceful, and great for families—kids especially love watching the many squirrels running around 😀

Gorgeous villa in Monza! The interior apartments and rooms that you can tour on the first and second floors are insanely beautiful - even better than Versailles. Our tour guide Salvatore was the absolute best and we learned a lot about the history behind the decoration of the rooms, the family, and the furniture! Unfortunately we did not have enough time planned but will absolutely be back next time we’re in Monza. :)

A very nice place to walk around and admire, it has a huge garden. A cafe on ground floor with seating inside and outside. I wouldn't go out my way to visit unless you are already in Monza.

Such a nice place to relax. Has a huge garden I mean it’s really huge. I felt like I was in old fantasy movie. I mean inside the garden whole world going to forget and you are in another world. Front of the villa it’s looks like Landon palace. I was able to get beautiful pictures and get a relax time. I went there in a weekday, there wasn’t crowded at all so I enjoyed it really well. I didn’t walk lot I just stayed near the villa. And I don’t have any idea about inside the villa because I didn’t go there but according to pictures that I saw, I think as the garden inside is beautiful. You should visit that place if you’re in Milano o Monza.

Huge park, great for cycling waking etc. It's so big it has the monza F1 track, a farm, a golf course and loads and loads of space to spare.

Wonderful place for walking, with kids’ play areas scattered throughout the park. Loved it

Good park very Italian would recommend. Mamma Mia!

I love meandering through this park and watching the sunset by the fountain in front of Palazzo Reale. Lingering is a priority here! We stumbled on a Beer/Food Truck festival on the last visit ... which was fun! they had trucks reprenting almost every type of cuisine in the world.

Largest walled park in Europe! Beatifullll

Incredibly huge park. The racing circuit part is very big alone, but the rest is big as well. Suitable for sports activities of many kinds. They even have running tracks for several lengths. Prep for many kms walk or better, ride. There was a huge storm in July 23 that massacred the racing track surrounding. Over 10 000 trees fell down.

Big beautiful park of the royal palace. 🌳🪵🍃 We spent not one but two days walking around and feeding the squirrels. 🥜🐿️ There are so many. 😍 There is a lake, with plenty of fish 🐟 and ducks 🦆 The tower looks cool. You really have plenty of options how to enjoy this place. ☺️

climbing 500 stairs up and then descending 500 stairs down it is not as bad as it sounds since the steps are small I guess they are intended for smaller stature people on the middle ages. Superb view as expected but because of immense height , most of sights are no longer seen

Clean place, fast kitchen, nice staff, but a bit crowded and quality always stable and good. I was there in spring 2024

In my opinion this is one of the most incredible medieval museums in Europetotally underrated, but not didactic enough. There is not much left anywhere of the period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the early Renaissance. This museum has several unique pieces of jewelry, the crown of with the iron nails, and every day articles. It's a bit of the missing link of what happened after the call of the Roman Empire. The museum is not interactive so it is more adequate for people with some background knowledge of the period and who already know they live history. We spent a whole afternoon here.

An interesting museum related to the Cathedral, also including many relevant historical items -and of course the most important one is the Iron Crown. Everything is well exposed, easy to understand, the guide was very good, and we had a great time visiting it.

Phone ahead to book a tour of the Tesoro, with the excellent, English-speaking staff, and you could have a very special experience. Most visiting Monza will know of the Iron Crown, the ancient relic of Christendom, wielded by Charlemagne and Napoleon, etc etc. So, I was expecting there to be a large crowd of tourists. I was very wrong! Instead, I was treated to an extended, 1-on-1 tour of the cathedral treasury and viewing of the Crown with an excellent guide, who was more than happy to explain all the history and legends surrounding this relic at length. Still cannot believe I was the only one there. A very, very special place.

the Cathedral museum of Monza is not open every day, check the opening hours: we visited Monza on Monday and the museum is closed all day!!

I like history so il think i can about to it

The Arengario was built in the 13th century and is named after its original function as town hall. The building has a portico surmounted by an upper floor that was used for councils. The architecture was inspired by the Palazzo della Ragione of Milan.

it was closed wooden floors nice red bricked building

A beautiful old building in a lively and peaceful neighborhood. I visited it during new year decoration and it was great!

We visited a small exhibition of the photographer Steve McCurry. A nice selection of photographs displaying the theme of reading all around the world. A quick stop downtown Monza for about 45 minutes to see one the most famous and notable photo journalist of the last 30 years.

The most interesting building in Monza. Consider how strange it is for an Italian city not to have a church at its center. (The Duomo church is a bit hidden out)

Nice tower with a nice plain.

Very particular showroom situated in a medieval structure. Any kind of exhibition becames worthy and attractive in such a place!

The Duomo di Monza is an absolute must-visit for anyone exploring the area. While Milan’s cathedral gets most of the attention, this stunning church has nothing to envy—it’s just as breathtaking in its own right and offers a more intimate, less crowded experience. One of the highlights of the Duomo di Monza is its incredible wall paintings. The entire building is covered in beautifully detailed frescoes, creating a truly immersive experience as you step inside. The artistry and craftsmanship are remarkable, making it easy to lose yourself in the intricate scenes and rich colors that bring the space to life. If you're in Milan and have time for a short trip, I highly recommend visiting Monza to see this architectural masterpiece. It’s a hidden treasure that deserves just as much recognition as its more famous counterpart!

Beautiful inside as it is outside. Definitely a unique and a outstanding design of the cathedral that is actually serves as one primarily. The Sunday service is completely full and open to anyone. Instructions ask not to take pictures inside. I am not sure how it followed up but haven’t tried taking some.

Just a Gorgeous, Although hade a late night visit, was amazed to see how tidy and clean are the surroundings. Well done for keeping up maximum standards.

very hot need extra ticket to see the good chapel which we did not bother frescoed to the inch

A cathedral with a spectacular facade. But don't miss the interior: the richness and beauty of the works of art is truly remarkable. In my opinion I would make the works of art stand out in more light

Definitely a beautiful view whether in the morning or evening. Full of charm and character inside as well

One of the most harmonic architecture I have ever seen. Facade impresses you with clearness and finalizeness in each line. Two-color solution is extremely stylish and reminds of Tuscany architecture traditions though with a pinch of Lombardian medieval decorative taste. Interior is from much newer ages but it doesn't interfere with the overall perception: it is peaceful and revered shrine, we were lucky to see the preparations for a wedding ceremony, it made this place even more charming. There is an important chapel to the left of the high altar - Theodelinda Chapel dedicated to the early medieval queen of Lombards who, is believed, commissioned this basilica and gave a beginning to the prosperity of Monza. The chapel is decorated with frescoes of Zavattari and is the place where the Iron Crown of Italian kings is stored. To visit the chapel you should ask for it on the museum desk (entrance is from the church just to the left of the chapel or from the street). Ah, yes, a peacock-lectern is splendid though in my case the choir of wedding singers stood around so I can't eximine its nice decorations but I enjoyed the singing much more to be honest.

Food was really nice and service was also really friendly. We wanted to try a bunch of foods they served, but be warned, the portions are big! The only thing that I really didn't like was when I was in the toilet they gave my girlfriend the bill without her asking because they wanted they needed the table. Even though there were many free tables (especially inside). I felt a bit rushed because when I came back I found my girlfriend already waiting for me and our table cleared. Doesn't feel like proper hospitality to rush guests out who just finished their meal.

The food was really delicious. The waiters were all super friendly. The interior is really cute with little lights hanging from the ceiling. We ate a lot. The portion are very generous and not to forget the complimentary bread and liquor at the end. Simply loved it.

What a treasure to find! Dog-friendly and with amazing food! Prices are very reasonable

Amazing food, we even came back the next day for dinner. Pizza are very nice, sea food pasta look also nice and very delicious. Thanks a lot from the two french tourists

Amazing food and service. serving great limoncello too. Mario (the boss) is very nice

Great place for pastas and pizzas in Monza

Lovely food and fast service. Please make sure you book a table as the place fills up immediately during the evening. I would definitely recommend this Trattoria and I will return here for sure when in Monza.

Nice for after hours. The aperitivo was good, the drink a little less.

Great food and great service. Happy hour with buffet and one drinck for 10 euros

It was a nice experience, tasty food was given to us, about 7 people along with me, overall stratified

Not the greatest, aperitivo is below average, drinks are okay, I was expecting more for the price

Slightly higher priced Aperitivo but you do get a lot of food for the price. The ambience is nice for a date night or even a dinner with the girls. Though the price would restrict me from visiting too often. Overall a good experience :)

Great place! ...wonderful drinks with great distillates!!! Special thanks to owners Roberto and Angelo!!!

Great food, bigger than the usual aperitivo. Drinks are good. The place is pretty big, inside and outside. The music is spot on, lounge and house. The place is a little dark inside, but it's atmospheric.

Super delicious food and amazing service. It was the best seafood I had in Italy.

Love the restaurant. Lovely decorated inside, lovely service and tasty food. I keep coming back there once in a while 😊 recommended 👌🏼

The food was great and that it was very beautiful sight to see and how there was a lot of texture to the building there was also very unique pizzas, the staff was very nice to us.

Very nice and extensive menu and drink list. The food I enjoyed was all well presented and prepared. The gnocchi with red sauce and lobster is highly recommended. Finish up with a great dessert menu.

Spent a night with friends, the atmosphere was awesome, the restaurant is nice and elegant.the fish was terrific and the plate with different desert is a must. Place to try

Great food, great service and great wine! No brainer to come back many, many times!!!

Delicious food, a Good selection of wines, in a nice ambience, with very attentive service! Definitely recommended!

Owned and managed by a Sicilian family from Raffadali. It deserves at least one Michelin star. Great quality, precision and warm service. The cousine will give you emotion and pleasure. Service impeccable by young beautiful girls and guys. Very good value for money too.

An exceptional food experience that brought back old flavors and perfumes of Sicily. Elegant and refined place. Chef Salvatore and his sister are lovely people that do this job with constant passion.

most beautiful lunch of Sicilian cuisine using seafood and soya sauce . Relaxed setting in monza just nine minutes by train from Milano Centrale. The chef degustation menu is a two hour affair ordered by the table . The shrimp and tuna are both amazing

awesome place. The atmosphere is kind of modern and neat. The staff provides very specific and friendly explanation and price is really reasonable considering what I was served. Very eager to visit more when I get to Monza.

This restaurant features Sicilian cuisine. The food and the service are first class. What makes this restaurant stand out is the level of attention to detail and it shows their passion.

Amazing restaurant for fine diner with the quality of the Michelin star but with prices much lower than that. Very family friendly.

What an amazing place. This is an "incontournable" un Monza. I am surprise it does not have a Michelin star or 2. What an amazing service as well. Our server Denis (he was Italian) was entertaining, had a wicked sense of humour and knew exactly how to connect with the group. We were 6 people and the efficiency of the service was just amazing. We did the traditional tasting menu Wich was at the time 62 euros per person but worth like 100. The quality of the food, the presentation and the taste was out of this world I will difinitly go back everytime I am in Monza. Thanks for a memorable meal.

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Centro Storico. We had the Risotto Monseze with the Luganega and it was amazing! We also had the big cotoletta (I think it’s called elephant’s ear?) and it was good but a bit heavy so my suggestion would be to share it because I have a good appetite and I could never eat all of it alone. Tried the Torta Paesana for dessert which we both loved! Service was good too, very professional. They even gave us a glass of prosecco as we were celebrating our marriage anniversary, so this was a nice thoughtful touch. All in all, we had a lovely evening and will probably go back at some point 🙂 Definitely recommend!

Amazing restaurant close to the center ! Service was absolutely fantastic, staff so professional and attentive . The food was fabulous !!! Fassona tartare was great, we had also the famous big cotletta milanese which was so huge 🤩🤩🤩 and delicious and the ossobuco with risotto milanese ! Just wished we had some more space for desserts … the portions are so generous, make you keep some space ! The restaurant manager Stefano is an amazing hospitality professional, as we had some errors with our orders he made such an amazing service recovery that we havent felt any delay . Grazie Stefano for a perfect experience and for the drinks 🍷 !!! Will definitely come back again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this is a must try restaurant if you are in Monza

What a quaint little place. The ambience was great, the service was top notch and the food was spectacular! I would totally recommend it if you are ever in Monza. This is a must try.

My son and I had a quick lunch 3 Sep 25. Outstanding service, a truly wonderful Spaghetti alla Carbonara, focaccia and drinks. Very well priced and would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing service, and a lot of writer/waitress speaks English!!!!! Atmosphere is good, guests are well mannered too :) I strongly recommend you to try lasagna; the bologna and Béchamel combination was awesome 👏 By the way, this complete course is for €18. You can’t beat that 😘

The food was good, but it was a pretty traditional menu. Judging from the ambiance of the restaurant, I was expecting something more innovative. Service was fast but not top-notch (e.g. spilling the wine while serving, three waiters asking the same question). Overall it was a pleasant experience. Good value for money (€116 Euros for a three course meal for two people, including a bottle of wine).

We visited without reservation and the guy in reception drove us to the secret garden place and it was very beautiful. All the dishes we tried was extremely tastefully . Service was smily and very helpful. The desert was amazing!!! I suggest it to everyone! Mile bravo 👏
