Milano

Milan (Milano) is a lively city where elegant boulevards, a creative scene and a rich history blend naturally.

An absolute highlight is the Duomo with its accessible rooftop terraces: standing among 135 delicate spires, you are almost at eye level with the famous Madonnina and can look out over the city. Right next door is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy’s oldest shopping arcade still in operation – an architectural gem from the 19th century. Culture lovers can visit La Scala and the Museo Teatrale alla Scala, which brings Milan’s opera and theatre world to life.
Be sure to plan ahead for Leonardo’s “The Last Supper” in Santa Maria delle Grazie – one of the world’s most famous works of art. For a taste of castle life in the heart of the city, visit Castello Sforzesco, a mighty 15th-century fortress housing several museums. In the Brera district, the Pinacoteca di Brera has been open to the public since 1809 – perfect for a more tranquil art experience away from the hustle and bustle.

To round off the day, take a stroll along the Navigli canals: particularly atmospheric in the evening and ideal for an aperitivo by the water.
