Italian in Milan
Milan is a cosmopolitan city of fashion, big business and luxury, from the extremely upscale stores of the Quadrilatero d’Oro to the more reasonably priced shops on Corso Buenos Aires. There is a lot to do and see in Milan, including the ornate Duomo Cathedral, the famous La Scala opera house and Leonardo’s The Last Supper.
Milan today is the commercial and financial center of contemporary Italy.
About Milan
|
|
Milan struts proud in the world of fashion and fills many a pocket in the world of finance. It is the sophisticated second city of Italy, home to the country's greatest designers, largest industries and most powerful banks. Ah yes, it's all Gucci and glamour here.
But, despite being no rival for the artistic wonderlands of cities like Florence or Siena, Milan has fared well in the cultural stakes and today offers the visitor plenty of grand palazzos, sumptuous concert halls and elegant cafés. With an efficient public transport system whisking you to all these places by metro, tram and bus, you'll still have time for some delicious Milanese food that typically includes polenta and risotto - to say nothing of a great range of bar snacks to be washed down by your early evening aperitivo.
One of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world – the Duomo – dominates Milan’s central square, the Piazza del Duomo.
More than 500 years in the making (work began in 1386), it is an intricate and awe-inspiring building and a tribute to the five centuries of artists, artisans, architects, builders and engineers who created it. Climb up to the roof for a stunning view over Milan.

When to go
It's possible to visit Milan comfortably throughout the year. The mountains to the north shield the city from the worst of the Arctic chills, but there are the occasional cold snaps to watch out for.
Equally uncomfortable are occasional summer heatwaves. August mugginess drives many locals out of town - the calm of the city can compensate for any discomfort caused by the heat.
