Milan Trips & Tours

The hyper-modern, the wonderfully old and a hub of fashion, finance and food.

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.


Things to do

What to do in Milan

Start with the Duomo, climbing onto the rooftop terraces for a walk among the spires and a view that takes in the whole city in one - and even the Alps beyond. A highlight of this stunning city is undoubtedly standing before Leonardo's Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie (although book ahead as you only get fifteen minutes) and tracing his footsteps through the Castello Sforzesco. Then, spend an afternoon in Brera, the artists' quarter, with a stop at the Pinacoteca for Mantegna and Caravaggio or, if fashion’s your thing, take a shopping tour through the Quadrilatero della Moda with a stylist who knows each and every boutique. End the day with aperitivo on a Navigli terrace – the Milanese have made an art of it.

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.

Something to think about

Something to think about

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.
