Top 10 things to do in Milan
Milan boasts one of the most cosmopolitan cultures in Italy - its rich artistic history laid the foundations upon which fashion and design could flourish. Here are some of the city's highlights, whether you're looking for art, history, or simply want to go home looking a little more stylish!
Santa Maria delle Grazie
We'd forgive you for thinking this church's appeal lay in its clash of Gothic and Renaissance styles, but it also just happens to be the home of Leonardo da Vinci's famous Last Supper!
The Last Supper
Fun fact: Da Vinci's genius may have been indisputable, but he lacked experience painting frescoes. The work began to deteriorate soon after completion, so go see it before it's too late!
Teatro alla Scala
Also simply known as La Scala, Milan's opera house has played host to some of the greatest singers and musicians of the past 250 years. Its world-beating reputation remains intact today!
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Few of the city's other historic attractions are considered as high a credit card risk as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II – one of the world's oldest and best shopping malls!
Milan Cathedral (Duomo)
Italy's largest church looms over Milan's main square, heavily adorned with ominous sculptures right up to the gilded bronze "Madonnina" on top of its main spire.
Sforza Castle
The Sforza Castle was one of the largest in Europe. Today it's home to important museums such as the Museum of Ancient Art and the Museum of Musical Instruments.
Duomo Square (Piazza del Duomo)
Stretching over 17,000 square meters, Milan's duomo square has room not only for the city's vast cathedral, but many other top attractions, like the Royal Palace.
Brera Picture Gallery (Pinacoteca di Brera)
Milan's Brera Picture Gallery boasts some of Italy's most significant paintings, with works by Raphael, Titian, and Caravaggio on display.
San Siro Stadium
Tour the grounds of AC Milan's famous San Siro stadium, which has hosted not only some of soccer's defining moments, but also musical greats from Bob Marley to Bob Dylan!
Navigli District
The historic Navigli district takes its name from the ancient canals that once connected the city. It's also home to some of the best restaurants for traditional Milanese cuisine!
Planning Your Milan Visit
When to go?
Milan is a year-round destination that doesn't really deal with peak seasons. Instead, it offers a wealth of events and exhibitions, so check the programs at its theaters and museums before you book your trip. If you're interested in Fashion Week, you have two to choose from! The autumn/winter collections are flaunted in February and March, and spring/summer in September and October.
How many days?
You could see most of Milan's key places of interest within a couple of days, but consider a long weekend if you want to shop or mellow out a little longer in its dynamic culture.
How to get around?
Driving in Milan can be a hair-raising experience! Fortunately it has an incredibly easy-to-use public transportation network. Tickets for its metro, bus, and tram routes must be bought prior to boarding. They must then be validated at the metro turnstiles or red boxes on board the buses and trams. The city also has a bike sharing scheme in place. More information can be found at bikemi.com.

What people are saying about Milan
Excellent - it was so busy we would’ve missed so much without it
Loved everything about it. Quite small group with excellent guide. The earphones are a great idea and the only way to enjoy the Duomo is do a guided tour as it so busy and queues are so long. The rooftop tour is breathtaking If you have precooked online my tip would be ignore the queue into the ticket office and go straight to the front desk to pick up your headphones and meet your guide - otherwise you’ll be queuing For ages. There should really be a big sign saying all precooked customers this way!!! Note you will have to leave ID for your headphones - passport or driving license etc
Our guide was a very passionate & knowledgeable young woman.
It was disappointing to know that despite knowing the need to stop tours due to a “state” funeral being held at the Duomo, the ticket office still sold tickets for terrace walk. We were fortunate to have time to return later in the afternoon to walk the terrace, but others had no time & found it difficult to get a part refund. The jumping the queue is definitely well worth the extra money...on any other day that’s not interrupted by a funeral.
Overall, great journey, no fuss, bus driver helpful. Affordable.
Great way to reach Milan center from Malpensa Airport without having to pay a fortune for the taxi! As long as you don't have more than 2 bags! Our coach journey was fine with the Bus air conditioned and the seats comfortable. The journey took about 50 mins. We had to ask the coach station assistant in the airport for guidance - once we got the bus stop number and details with the exit number, it was easy to find1 Got on board and relaxed.

Venice is a beauty, but wish that there was more time spent in city.
Had an awesome guide and driver. however, traveling time was rather long. Only had about 2 and half hours in Venice, and the rest was spent on traveling. The location from the app was not accurate, as the location listed was opposite a hotel, a hotel staff came out to ask me to walk a little round the corner and check for the buses.
Hassle free and fast transfer to the airport
Have always been traveling to Malpensa via taxi during business trip. This was a vacation, and its really hassle-free. The buses frequency was rather, quick my wait time was less than 10 mins after departure of the bus that was full, and the other bus came along.
