Our guide
Milan's central synagogue can only be entered on a guided tour booked in advance - you can't wander in on your own. There are security checks at the door, and men need a head covering (available on site). The tour, about 75 minutes, also takes in the Sephardi-Oriental hall and the exhibit of ritual objects.
Our recommendations
- Base yourself around Via Soderini, Milan's lively kosher food strip - with a Chabad house steps from the Duomo.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Milan
Milan does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Beit Chabad Central Milan (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Milan.
To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
