MILAN GUIDE

Milan is the home of the Italian economy and it houses international treasures such as Leonardo da Vinci’s ”L’Ultima Cena”, the Opera House “La Scala” and Castello Sforzesco. A modern metropolis that combines history, tradition, art and culture with business and leisure in an effervescent mix, the city is also the undisputed capital of fashion with names such as Armani, Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Pucci and Gucci all claiming the city of Milan as their home.

Everyone would understand if your pilgrimage to Milan is for the sake of fashion. But there is no reason to limit your horizons. This is also the capital of design, furniture, architecture and contemporary art. The theatre scene is avant-garde and preceded by a truly glorious ode to happy hour... The Milanese aperitivo is served with platters of bar food. Milan offers an extensive and varied yearly calendar of exhibitions, fairs, cultural festivals, sports events and musical extravaganzas.

The hidden gems of the Navigli’s canal cafés and the old fashioned ice cream shops also deserve your attention. The number of museums, theatres, churches, restaurants and bars will take your breath away.
