Milan has always made you dream, but you do not know how to manage your time there to make the most of it? Don't worry, here is a city guide that will allow you to see all the unusual places in just 24 hours.
10am: For starters, Venice is not the only Italian city known for its canals! Indeed, start the day in the Navigli district of Milan and admire the aquatic streets that are there. For a long time, this district did not have the most flattering reputation, but today it is one of the trendiest places in the city. Independent shops, street art… There is something to admire! In addition, if you want to get used to it and try the specialty of the Italian "aperitivo" (an all-you-can-eat drink and buffet for a very reasonable price) at the end of the day, this is the place to go.
12pm: Then, take the metro and head to the Brera district. It is the perfect place to eat in small cobbled and colorful streets typically Italian. Pizza, pasta, risotto… All the restaurateurs will be in front of their facades will invite you to go back making sure that it is at home that you will eat the best dish. If you want to have lunch in a very typical atmosphere, this is the place to go. In addition, there is also La Pinacoteca di Brera, which is one of the most famous museums in Milan that is worth a look if you are ever an art lover.
3pm: Next, stroll through Parco Sempione, the city's largest park that welcomes thousands of visitors daily. It houses an aquarium, a library or the Branca Tower which allows you to have a panoramic view of Milan. This park is also right next to the Sforzesco Castle. Again, you can simply walk around or visit the many museums inside. If you are lucky enough to come on the first Sunday of a month, all the museums in the city are free. So it's time to enjoy it and cultivate yourself on the history of the city.
6pm: Finally, it is impossible not to talk about the heart of Milan: the Duomo. This cathedral is the emblem of the city and is even the third largest church in the world. This explains the many tourists taking the traditional photo in front. You can even climb to the top of the Cathedral to admire the view of the large square that bears the same name as the building. Alternatively, there is the option of window shopping in front of the many luxury stores in the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery. This gallery is one of the most prestigious places in the city. Even without talking about buying anything, the gallery is so beautiful that you will be speechless. And above all, do not forget to go to the bull represented on the ground: turn three times on yourself by positioning your heel on the testicle of the animal, and according to legend, it will bring you luck!
And that's it, your 24 hours are already over. Milan is known for its culture, art and especially its fashion. So if you want to learn more about all this, why not extend the trip by a few more days?
