Standing guard over Milan for more than 600 years, the Duomo is the most known landmark in the city.
Did you know that it took over six centuries to complete and it’s actually not finished! The last details of the cathedral were officially done in 1965 but there are still some uncarved blocks that remain to be completed as statues.
The terraces of the Duomo offer extraordinary vantage points all over the city. So do not hesitate to also go on top of it! :)

If I say “Italy” and “canals” the city that directly comes to your mind is probably Venise. However, Milan also has cute canals in a bohemian and artistic neighborhood called Navigli which owes its name to its artificial canal network. The area is best known for its nightlife but it is also lovely for an afternoon stroll.

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan is one of the oldest shopping malls in the world!
Fun fact: in the center of the gallery, the floor mosaic artwork pays homage to Rome, Florence, Turin, and Milan. Out of the four coats of arms depicted, Turin’s symbol of the bull gets particular attention. According to a local tradition, spinning counterclockwise three times while maintaining the right foot heel planted at the genitals of the bull brings good luck. This tradition started as a mockery to Turin and spread among tourists. This ritual, repeated hundreds of times a day, is wearing out the image of the bull, that needs to be restored quite often.
