Milan Holidays

Milan is a city of contrasts, where centuries of history sit comfortably alongside cutting-edge style and modern business. As Italy’s fashion and financial capital, it has a confident, fast-paced feel, yet it still rewards visitors who slow down and explore its quieter corners.

At the heart of the city stands the magnificent Duomo di Milano, an extraordinary Gothic cathedral adorned with hundreds of spires and statues. Climbing to the rooftop offers sweeping views across the city and, on a clear day, towards the Alps. Nearby, the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II provides a grand setting for shopping or simply enjoying a coffee beneath its glass dome.

Milan’s cultural heritage is rich and varied. Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, housed in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, is one of the world’s most celebrated artworks and well worth booking in advance. The historic Castello Sforzesco and the surrounding Parco Sempione offer insight into the city’s past and a welcome green escape.
