Top 10 things to see and do in Milan Italy

Milan may not be top of everyone´s list of favourite cities in Italy, but if you driving around Italy by hire car, it is well worth a visit. Below is a list of the top ten things to do in Milan:

1. The Duomo Roof Milan Italy

 Probably one of Milan´s best known tourist attractions, the Duomo Roof can be explored from the inside and out. Hundreds of people flock to see the interior of the cathedral, but you can also take a lift up to the cathedral roof and enjoy fabulous views of Milan.

  2. The Last Supper Leonardo Da Vinci Milan Italy

Visit the Santa Maria delle Grazie Church, Milan, Italy, to see ´The Last Supper´ by Leonardo Da Vinci. Getting tickets is not easy as there is a strict limit on the number of people who can be in the room at any one time with the famous fresco. Book tickets well in advance to avoid disappointment.

3. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele Milan Italy

Probably one of the world´s prettiest shopping malls, the Vittorio Emanuele, Milan, Italy, has a stunning tile floor at its centre with a mosaic of a bull. The bull represents the most prominent cities in northern Italy, including Turin, and spinning on the bull´s balls is said to bring good luck to all-spinners. Watch the locals have a quick spin, mid-conversation, and carry on chatting at the same time. If you fancy spinning on the bull´s balls in Milan, pre-book cheap car hire from Milan Airport and take a spin up to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Milan, Italy.

  4. La Scala Museum Milan Italy

No visit to Milan is complete without a trip to La Scala. If you are not lucky enough to get tickets for the opera at La Scala, visit the museum and you will get a quick look around the theatre.

  5. Shopping in the Quadrilatero d´Oro Milan Italy

Known as the fashion capital of Italy, Milan is one of the most exciting places to shop in Europe. If you want to buy designer gear, Milan is a shopper´s paradise. Stroll around the Quadrilatero d´Oro, Milan and check out the stunning window displays at Prada, Versace, Valentino and Armani.

 6. AC Milan and Inter Milan the San Siro Stadium Italy

If, like me, you are a football nut, check out the San Siro Stadium, home to AC Milan and Inter Milan. If you´re not lucky enough to get tickets for a match at the San Siro, take a stadium tour instead. Check out the fixtures online and apply for tickets through the Inter Milan or AC Milan website.

 7. The Pinacoteca di Brera Milan Italy

If art and culture is more your thing, visit the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan, Italy. This fabulous art museum is home to a collection of Italian art by Caravaggio, Raphael, Rembrandt and Tintoretto.  After touring the museum take a trip around Brera, with its quaint streets and pavement cafés.

 8. Make the most of Milan Parks

Enjoy the parks in the city centre of Milan and take a break from the noise of the traffic. Visit the beautiful Parco Sempione, close to the Castello Sforzesco or the Giardini Pubblici to the north east of the city.

 9. Food and restaurants in Milan Italy

Famous for its fabulous food, Milan, Italy serves up some fantastic Italian fare at reasonable prices. From street cafés to five star restaurants, you will find them all in Milan. Whether it´s a quick pizza and pasta lunch you are after, or a full blown menu, you will not be disappointed. For a quick snack on the run, try a panzerotto. This unhealthy Milanese treat consists of a piece of flat bread with mozzarella and tomato sauce, folded over and deep fried. Very naughty but very nice.

 10. Milan Canals in Navigli Italy

Not quite on a par with Venice but still a big draw in the summer months, Milan´s two canals in the Navigli district of the city are easy to miss. Stroll around the Navigli district with its quirky shops, small art galleries and pavement cafés, and enjoy a boat tour on the canal during summer time.
