Fashion capital of the world. Wall Street of Italy. Home to some of the most famous Renaissance works.

Nav:

The Milan Cathedral (aka duomo) is a must but don’t forget about some of the smaller churches nearby. There is no wait and many are free. The Last Supper sells out fast and for months in advance.

Pro Tip: Buy tickets online in advance. Entrances are timed but nobody cares when you go in, as tickets can be used several days afterwards. Just get in the long line when it suits you and wait. Tour groups have ‘line cutting privileges’. Tour operators solicit people in the line so pay more for the shortcut if you don’t have the time or patience to wait.
