I’ve always been fascinated by Milan. A cosmopolitan city in Northern Italy where modernity flourishes. Finance, fashion, architecture, history, culture, art, all of these things were born here. I’ve been to Italy twice and have visited Sicily, Rome, Florence and Pisa, but when it comes to Milan, I’ve only been to its airport, Milan Malpensa 🥺 I never got the chance to visit Milan and I’ve been intrigued ever since.

The main attraction I’ve always wanted to visit is the famous Gothic cathedral, Il Duomo. The spires rising high towards the Milanese sky, is also known as “Milan’s Forest”. The cathedral is photographic and beautiful and I can’t wait to visit it. In this book, there are 111 places in Milan that you can’t miss and a lot of the attractions are worth visiting, but there are a few places that actually struck me and I would put it on my to-do list when visiting Milan:

1. Aldo Coppola
2. The Boxer’s Spire (on the roof of the Duomo)
3. Cascina Cuccagna
4. Conca dell’Incoronata
5. The Crying Madonna
6. The Devil’s Column
7. Eataly
8. The Fashion District
9. Isola di Frida
10. Manzoni’s Study
11. Massimo’s Ice Cream
12. Milano a Memoria
13. Outlet Fashion
14. Palazzo Imperiale
15. Palazzo Lombardia
16. Parco delle Basiliche
17. Peck
18. San Bernardino
19. Sforza Castle
20. Torre Branca
21. Thieves in the Window
22. Urbicus, the Gladiator

I can’t wait to visit Milan 🇮🇹 ⛪️🏢🏰🚎🍦🍝🍷👔👞🎩💼

Carino.
Ottimo per un turista che non conosce la città.
Per chi l’ha gia visitata trova lo stesso alcune chicche.
Bellissime le foto di accompagnamento.
