tourism: milan

by Amy McAdams

Milan is the Northern heart of Italy. Few cities have such style and sophistication, and of course that applies to the shopping as well. Excellent hotels, amazing food and so much to see and do. Take a look at our suggestions for things to do in Milan:

The Duomo

Parco Sempione and Palazzo d’Arte

Parco Sempione and Palazzo d’Arte is Milan's biggest and best park. Stretching across over 100 acres of the city, this wonderful park is a great place to relax and chill out. The park is also home to a handful of museums and galleries.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of Milan's most recognizable buildings. Connecting piazza del Duomo with piazza della Scala, this immense landmark is a must-see on any trip to Milan. It's also located in a great area of the city surrounded by designer clothes retailers, entertainment stores and ridiculously expensive cafes.

Pinacoteca di Brera

Pinacoteca di Brera is arguably the finest museum in the city, despite is relatively modest size. But what the gallery lacks in size, it more than makes up for in quality. The collection primarily covers works by Italian artists from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Highly recommended.

More city attractions

Why not jump on the plane for some fun in the sun in Spain. There are so many fabulous things to do in Barcelona and the cultural attractions in Madrid are also first class.

You could also take trip to the USA and enjoy the many great things to do in San Francisco or the seemingly limitless attractions of New York. This huge country really has a city to suit everyone's tastes.

And finally, if you wanted to travel a little further, you could explore the superb tourist attractions in Hong Kong. This really is one of the most vibrant cities in the world.
