Milan rewards travellers who look beyond its reputation as a business centre. The Duomo, historic churches and major art collections sit alongside architecture, fashion and design that continually reshape the city.
Experiencing the region
Advance planning is important for key works and exhibitions, while private neighbourhood walks can connect formal culture with boutiques, galleries and excellent restaurants.
Planning your stay
Milan is an ideal urban beginning or end to northern Italy, with Lake Como, Lake Maggiore and Piedmont all accessible for a contrasting second chapter.
