Milan is a very dynamic and modern city, a cultural center, and most importantly, Milan is a trendsetter. You should not look for typical Italy in this city, which you are used to seeing in the cinema, with a huge number of narrow streets, noisy Italian housewives, old people sitting at tables and drinking homemade wine. Although this is the case.
It is worth immediately highlighting several attractions that you need to see with your own eyes and listen with your ears. They are all concentrated in the heart of the city.
Teatro alla Scala is a must not only see but also visit. Needless to say, this is one of the most famous theaters in the world, Verdi and Puccini gave their premieres here, and there is no need to talk about the number of opera stars who performed in the theater.
The Duomo Cathedral is truly what Milan is proud of. It contains one of the great shrines of the Christian world - the nail with which the Lord was crucified. This cathedral is made in the Gothic style and can accommodate 40 thousand people. The cathedral is extraordinarily beautiful in its interior and exterior decoration. Climbing to the roof of the cathedral (by steps for 4 euros, by elevator for 6 euros), you will see the city at a glance. There is something mesmerizing in this, even fabulous.
Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie - this is where the famous fresco by Leonardo da Vinci "The Last Supper" is located. Unfortunately, access to the premises is limited, it is very difficult to get tickets, you will have to take them in advance and via the Internet, the cost is from $ 23 and more. The lucky ones have 15 minutes to watch the masterpiece.
It is also undeniable that Italian cuisine is one of the most iconic in the whole world, the large army of its fans is steadily replenishing with new recruits. In Milan, there are a lot of not only good, but very good restaurants. Some specialize exclusively in Italian home cooking, while others manage to combine it with centuries-old Italian cuisine. Well, for an appetizer to look into a bar or cafe will be useful.
Milan and fashion are like mother and child, it is impossible to separate them. Even when the fashion week was noisy, “rustled” with dresses on the catwalk, she stayed, she was around, she took this city into her strong arms and never let go of it. Surrendering to the power of shopping in Milan will be expensive and pleasant. Although you can save on various sales and seasonal discounts. Huge outlets, which offer branded clothing at very low prices, are waiting for their customers.
In addition to clothing, home furnishings and olive oil, you can also bring hand-made perfumes, wine and soaps from Milan. As well as positive emotions, beautiful photos and unforgettable memories.
