Visit Milan
Milan is an important city in the centre of the Lombardy region.
Milan can be a challenge for first-time visitors - often busy, hot and crowded and not always as clean as it could be - but there are rich rewards for those who persist. From great historical monuments to fine shops there is a great deal to enjoy in this lively city.
The city is perhaps the richest in Italy.
It is beyond the scope of this guide (currently) to provide a detailed guide to Milan - some of the highlights of a visit to the city include:
- Seeing The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci in the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie
- Going to a concert at La Scala, one of the greatest opera theatres of the world
- A visit to the Duomo, Milans vast gothic cathedral
- Castello Sforzesco, both for the palace itself and also the fine art collection that is held there
Needless to say there are many, many other things to enjoy - music and theatre, museums, public gardens, fine restaurants and of course lots of opportunities to enjoy shopping in some of the finest fashion houses to be found.
