Milan combines style, history, and energy in equal measure. Begin your stay by wandering the grand boulevards, marvelling at the Duomo’s intricate façade, and exploring the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for high-end shops and historic cafés. Art lovers can immerse themselves in world-class galleries, from the Pinacoteca di Brera to Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. Milan’s food scene is equally vibrant, from traditional risottos and osso buco to trendy neighbourhood cafés serving modern twists on Italian classics. It's the perfect introduction to Italy before heading on elsewhere.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
- Start your morning at the Duomo di Milano, the city’s spectacular Gothic cathedral. Climb up to the rooftop terraces for panoramic views across the skyline - on a clear day you can even spot the Alps. Go early to enjoy the spires and statues in relative calm.
- From the cathedral, step straight into the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the world’s oldest shopping arcades. Admire its soaring glass dome and intricate mosaics, and pause at a café for a coffee while watching the bustle below.
- In the afternoon, visit Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, one of Milan’s unmissable highlights. Be sure to book in advance, as access is limited to preserve this extraordinary mural.
- Spend your second day exploring the Brera district, a chic yet relaxed neighbourhood filled with art galleries, boutiques, and leafy courtyards. It’s ideal for a slow wander, a browse through independent shops, and a leisurely lunch in a sunlit café.
- Later, sample the best of Milanese cuisine. Tuck into everything from creamy risotto alla Milanese and tender osso buco to the city’s signature cotoletta alla Milanese.
- End the evening with an aperitivo in Navigli, where lively bars line the canals and the atmosphere captures the city at its most sociable.
