Milano Travel Guide

Milano OVERVIEW

With all the due respect for history and the examples of stunning architecture, you don't come to Milan to sightsee museums, stroll the piazzas and do some praying in the Gothic Duomo. Milan is the ultimate fashion and conceptual art powerhouse and a laboratory of artistic experiments. It's a fashionista Mecca of model-packed catwalks, designers' flagship stores and a golden mine of emerging labels. You come here to blow your money on Armani, Versace and Prada and make your credit card bounce in Via Montenapoleone, Quadrilatero d'Oro or the world's most beautiful shopping mall, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Well OK, you come here for some awesome calcio by Inter or AC Milan, too. And finally, to cool off you can steer towards the monumental Castello Sforzesco, reach the higher levels of sophistication at La Scala opera house or repent your uncontrollable shopping spree at Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie with Leonardo's Last Supper on display.
