Milan

Best described as the global capital of fashion and a financial hub, Milano is a city full of historical monuments and authentic Italian dining spots. It is considered to be the home of the national stock exchange and most of the residents here are just crazy about football. For shopping, check out the Golden Rectangle that is made up from four streets that are dedicated only to fashion. Here you can find products from Prada, Versace, Armani and many other famous designers. Known for its bohemian vibe, the Brera District is home to many small boutiques that offer mainly fashions from Italy. The open-air markets here are simply amazing and definitely worth a visit.

Aperitivo was started in this city. It is a concept that focuses on finger food and is usually served between 7 pm and 9 pm every evening. Try the traditional Milanese cuisine. Risotto alla Milanese, Ossobuco, and Cotoletta alla Milanese are just a few specialties that can be found in a number of restaurants in the city.

Home to the Archbishop of Milan, The Milan Cathedral is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Milan. Established in 1888, Parco Semprione is the biggest park in the city and a place that is definitely worth visiting. Taking a tour at the arena Civica is also a unique experience. San Fedele offers a panoramic view from the Pirelli Tower that is one of the highest buildings in Milan. For car racing fanatics, a trip to the Monza Formula One that is located just outside the city will be a real treat.
