Wondering what to do in Milan? Then this Milan Tour is just for you.

1-Visit Duomo cathedral and Piazza Duomo

The Duomo in Milan is absolutely a must-see. From the outside, it is just stunning and right up there with Notre Dame in Paris.
The Duomo took 6 centuries to build and is the 2nd largest church in Italy.  There are 52 pillars and 3500 statues inside!  Although the views inside are very impressive: the rooftop views were even more stunning.

2-La Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

It’s Italy’s oldest active shopping mall and a major landmark of Milan, Italy. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is an ornate shopping arcade with a star-studded list of luxury emporiums, international chain and department stores, and trendy gourmet eateries, located on Piazza Duomo, to the left of the front entrance of Milan’s majestic cathedral (Duomo). The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II contains brands such as Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, as well as other high-end boutiques.

3-The Royal Palace of Milan

The Royal Palace of Milan was the seat of government in the Italian city of Milan for many centuries. Today, it serves as a cultural center and it is home to international art exhibitions.
The Royal Palace, located right beside the Duomo in central Milan, holds famous art exhibitions and has featured works of Monet and Picasso.

4-Shopping in Milan

Milan is internationally recognized as the capital of fashion and design after all!
We as travel agents advise you to go to the quadrilateral of fashion composed by the following 4 streets: Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga, Via Sant’Andrea and Via Manzoni.
The city’s most popular fashion stores are in the following streets:
-Corso Vittorio Emanuele II
-Corso di Porta Ticinese
-Via Torino
-Corso Buenos Aires

5-Try traditional food

If you are a food lover you are in the perfect place to find lots of choices. You’ll find the focus is on meat, stews, rice, cheese, and butter.
-Perhaps the most classic Milanese dish, risotto alla milanese elevates a simple rice dish with one of the most regal of ingredients – saffron. The result is a creamy risotto.
-Panettone is one of Italy’s most popular Christmas breads, and it originally comes from Milan. It’s a sweet and light bread studded with candied fruit.
-The cotoletta alla Milanese can be found almost everywhere in the city, unlike other traditional recipes that are more often the realm of the home cook. It’s rich without being over the top, which makes it something that can be eaten with (slightly) more regularity.
-Minestrone Milanese- Together with vegetables of all types – cabbage, beets, celery, spinach, parsley, tomatoes and more, depending on what’s in season – the rice is cooked in a pleasant if not particularly noteworthy broth.
-Gorgonzola- Gorgonzola comes in two forms: dolce (literally, “sweet”) which is sweeter and creamier, and piccante (literally, “spicy”) which has a spicy, pungent bite.
