Address

Cross Piazza Gae Aulenti and the Biblioteca degli Alberi park to the north; the twin tree-covered towers are right there

Come up out of Garibaldi station and you could be in another city. Under the curved spire of the UniCredit Tower, Piazza Gae Aulenti has shallow fountains that kids run through. Cross the park to the north, the Biblioteca degli Alberi, and there are the two Bosco Verticale towers, every balcony sprouting trees and shrubs. They change colour with the seasons, going red and gold in autumn. The buildings are private homes, so this is a look-from-outside stop.
