12 Things to See in Milan From an Italian
Before leaving for Milan, an Italian colleague sent David this amazing list of things to do and see in Milan. There's A LOT, so I thought I'd share it, too.
I trust your wife has already planned your visit to Milan in detail J, however, in case it is of any help, I wanted to share my personal recommendations + few links that contain some recommendations on what to visit in Milan.
See them here
My personal recommendations, considering that you are staying only for a weekend, would go to the following:
1. DUOMO DI MILANO – if weather allows try to get to the top, the view over the city is really nice Image result for duomo di milano
2. GALLERIA VITTORIO EMANUELE – just in the same square, it’s a must to see in town. Starred Italian Chef Cracco recently opened another restaurant/pizzeria here.
3. – If you go ‘till the end of the gallery you see the famous LA SCALA theatre. Try to get in as its beauty doesn’t show at all form the outside.
4. Just nearby piazza DUOMO (you go towards Corso Vittorio Emanuele, walk in till the end of the street, get to a square then turn left – 5 minutes) there’s the famous Fashion district.
5. Getting there you might want to stop at the RINASCENTE MALL, though, for a by far more accessible – but very high quality – shopping. If sales are mainly accessible with the Rinascente card, go to the 4th floor – if I am not mistaken – easily have it done and then shop so you can get discounts. You might want to get to the rooftop and enjoy your meal facing the magnificent DUOMO.
6. From Piazza del DUOMO; you might want to go and see the so called NAVIGLI. I strongly recommend a visit there, as they offer quite of an unexpected view of the city. You simply go towards VIA TORINO, down towards CORSO DI PORTA TICINESE then PIAZZA 24 MAGGIO, then turn right.
7. In your walk you’ll be also seeing the COLONNE DI SAN LORENZO, one of the few Romanic rests we have downtown. It might be also interesting to know that PALAZZO REALE, again in PIAZZA DEL DUOMO, is hosting a Picasso’s exhibition, in case you want to visit it.
8. Clearly THE LAST SUPPER is worth a visit but it might be tough to get tickets.
9. Also, CASTELLO SFORZESCO, at the heart of PARCO SEMPIONE and very close to our restaurant on Sunday, is worth seeing.
10. Also, I recently discovered that the most loved venue by tourists in town (among the less known of course), is the CHIESA DI SAN MAURIZIO (Corso Magenta, 15) in case you also want to see it.
11. Milan’s Chinatown is a very famous Food district in town (with food from all across Italy and the world), it might be also nice visiting it, first because it’s very close to the restaurant where we will be meeting on Sunday (below all details again), and secondly because this weekend the Chinese community is celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year.
12. Nearby, PIAZZA GAE AULENTI with its world famous BOSCO VERTICALE building is an interesting place to visit.
Hope this helps!
