The Last Supper is here; the Duomo is here; and so is the most ruthlessly stylish population in Europe. Milan is Italy with its game face on.

A place to dress well and eat exceptionally, Milan is the economic and fashion capital of Italy. Yes, it might not compete with the Romes and the Venices, but with the Duomo, the third largest Gothic cathedral in the world, dominating the skyline, the chance to see Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, The Last Supper, and the great La Scala opera house, it can certainly offer a dose of the cultural. And then, the modern. All of the world’s haute-couture houses have their flagships on the Via Monte Napoleone and whether you’re interested in a new handbag or not, they’re worth an ogle, as are the art galleries and design studios in Brera. In the evening, Navigli is the spot for cocktails and people-watching – and then it’s time for dinner. Milanese take their food seriously and you’ll be spoilt for choice for restaurants to feast on saffron-rich risotto alla Milanese and ossobuco slow-braised to perfection.
From the flagship stores of renowned designers to avant-garde boutiques showcasing emerging talent; masterpieces housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera to vibrant street art, Milan celebrates the traditional and the modern.
If you're in town for a few days, why not take a meandering drive to Italy's Lake District? The picturesque Lake Como is just an hour away, making it an easy day trip.
Milan is a bustling city that attracts visitors year-round, so it's advisable to plan certain aspects of your trip well in advance. A visit to see 'The Last Supper' at the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie needs to be booked at least two days before you go.
