Begin your trip at the iconic Duomo di Milano, one of the largest cathedrals in the world. Climb up to the rooftop for impressive views of the city. Afterward, explore the opulent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy's oldest shopping mall. Marvel at the beautiful frescoed ceiling and indulge in some luxury shopping or stop for a coffee at the famous Bar Camparino.
Visit Santa Maria delle Grazie, home to one of Milan's most famous works of art – Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. Make sure to book ahead of time as tickets are limited. Afterward, head to the Navigli District, famous for its canals and vibrant nightlife. Stroll down the scenic Naviglio Grande and enjoy some traditional aperitivo in one of the many bars.
Start the day at Sforza Castle, a magnificent fortress that houses a vast collection of artwork, including Michelangelo's unfinished sculpture of Pietà Rondanini. From there, head to the Brera District, known for its bohemian atmosphere and picturesque streets. Visit Pinacoteca di Brera, one of Italy's most important art galleries, and wander through the vibrant Piazza del Carmine before ending the day with some delicious Italian cuisine at Ristorante Da Giacomo.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to Lake Como, a beautiful spot less than an hour away by train. On the other hand, if you have less time, skip the Brera District and spend more time at the Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
