Sensational shopping

Visit the quadrilatero della moda (fashion quarter), formed by the city’s most chic shopping streets. From Prada and Gucci to Versace and Moschino, browse luxurious boutiques and brands here.

Perhaps the most elegant retail centre in the world, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, opposite the Duomo di Milano, is bursting with high-end shopping from prestigious brands like Louis Vuitton. The building itself is one of the city’s finest and features mosaics of animals representing different Italian cities on the intricate tiled floor. It’s a must-visit even if you don’t plan on treating yourself to a bit of shopping.

Visit the Duomo di Milano

Your trip to Milan wouldn’t be complete without admiring the city from Duomo di Milano’s rooftop – just make sure the weather’s fine for the best view.

This incredibly and intricately designed Gothic cathedral dominates the main square with its eye-catching spires and statues delicately carved from pink Candoglia marble. It might take 150 steps to reach the top, but you’ll be rewarded with glorious views of the city and the snow-covered Alps in the distance. Explore the crypt and discover the history of a building that took some 600 years to build.

A city steeped in art and culture

Milan is one of the best spots in Europe for both Renaissance and modern art, including one of the world’s most famous works – Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper.

For a stunning contemporary collection, visit the Fondazione Parade gallery – here you’ll find incredible modern works in a converted distillery. Head to the rooftop cafe for spectacular views over the city or drop by Bar Luce – designed by film director Wes Anderson – for coffee and cake.

Also well worth your time is the incredible collection of works housed at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Accademia di Belle Arti, showcasing masterpieces by Caravaggio and Titian. Don’t miss out on visiting the Castello Sforzesco, as it’s one of Milan’s most important landmarks.
