Milan: The Duomo, Fashion and The Last Supper

Milan is the city that works while Rome takes a siesta. It is Italy's economic capital, the fashion mecca and, to many people's surprise, a city with breathtaking artistic heritage.

The Duomo

Italy's largest Gothic cathedral, six centuries in the making. Climb to the terraces for a panorama among marble pinnacles — on clear days you can see the Alps.

The Last Supper

Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece in Santa Maria delle Grazie. Only 25 people every 15 minutes. Book 2-3 months ahead.

The Navigli

The canals Leonardo helped design are now Milan's aperitivo district. A Spritz for 8-10 euros comes with a buffet that replaces dinner.

Practical Tips

  • Best time: Spring and autumn.
  • Budget: Aperitivo with buffet 8-12 euros. Risotto in a trattoria 12-16 euros.
