Milan - Don't Miss
Find your own escape from Milan's pulsating beat. Lose yourself in breathtaking art or come face-to-face with Milan's passion (after fashion) at San Siro football stadium.
Leave the buzz of the centre for canalside bars and markets in Navigli and Ticinese districts. Visit the beautiful church of San Lorenzo and eclectic collection of art and weaponry at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, museum-home of Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli.
Pay tribute to Milan's patron saint at the Basilica of Saint Ambrose or get football tickets for Milan's other quasi-religious site, the San Siro Stadium. If you seek tranquillity, find it at Milan's Aquarium, or in the city park Giardini Pubblici.
Want to see the Archbishop of Milan climb towards a high ceiling in a wobbly basket? Inside the Duomo dangles a cross containing a nail allegedly from Christ's cross. Every September, the archbishop floats up to it on a mechanical cloud (the basket) to display it to the adoring crowd below.
