The soaring spires and intricate details of the Duomo Cathedral are a must-see for any visitor to Milan. This iconic cathedral took nearly 600 years to complete and boasts 3,500 statues, 135 spires and beautiful stained glass windows. You can wander around the interior and learn about its history and significance.
Begin your day at the Pinacoteca di Brera Museum to get a taste of Italy's most iconic painters. The place is a treasure trove of paintings including "The Kiss", by Francesco Hayez, and "Supper at Emmaus" by Caravaggio.
Next, head to the Sforza Castle, where a collection of art is showcased. The castle houses multiple museums, and visitors can see the works of famous Italian artists, including Michelangelo's unfinished masterpiece "Pietà Rondanini."
Start your day with a cappuccino and croissant at one of Milan's famous coffee bars before heading to the historic Navigli district. Take a seat at one of the numerous cafes, overlooking the man-made canal and enjoy a sumptuous Italian-style breakfast.
The district is well-known for its vibrant nightlife. Taste authentic Italian cuisine at our recommended restaurants, Contraste or Ratanà. Also, enjoy an exquisite wine-tasting experience at the Eataly Smeraldo.
If you have more time, Murales di Lambrate is a creative gem that will add value and a spice of authenticity to your trip. If you have less time, you may sacrifice the Pinacoteca di Brera Museum and the Sforza Castle.
