Best places to visit in Milan
When one thinks of Milan, fashion and business often spring to mind. However, this global metropolis is also steeped in rich history, alluring art, and striking architecture. If Milan is on your travel itinerary, the following destinations are not to be missed, and Happytripz is eager to curate your excursions, ensuring you unravel the marvels of Milan in an unforgettable way.
The Duomo di Milano is unquestionably the crown jewel of the city. This Gothic masterpiece, over six centuries in the making, is a testament to human ingenuity and artistic finesse. Guests can marvel not only at its towering spires and detailed facades but also at the panoramic views from its rooftop terraces. Climb or take the elevator up to witness a spectacle of the bustling city below against the backdrop of the Alps.
- Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a stone's throw from the Duomo, presents a grand shopping experience amidst a 19th-century glass-vaulted arcade. Here, luxury meets history, with mosaic floors underfoot and the names of prominent designers encircling above.
- The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci remains one of the most celebrated artworks worldwide. This masterpiece resides in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and viewing it is nothing short of a spiritual pilgrimage for art aficionados. Booking through Happytripz ensures seamless access to this often sold-out experience.
- Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco) is a fortress where art, culture, and history intermingle. What once stood as a symbol of power and defense is now home to several of the city's museums and art collections, including Michelangelo's unfinished 'Rondanini Pietà.'
- Teeming with exotic plant species, the Brera Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico di Brera) offers a serene escape. Nestled in the Brera district, it provides travelers a whimsical respite from the urban hustle.
- The vivacious Navigli District, with its picturesque canals designed in part by Leonardo da Vinci, is perfect for a leisurely evening stroll. The bars and restaurants dotting the waterways are ideal for tasting local cuisine and sipping on a spritz as the sun sets.
Milan's enchanting blend of the old and the new is also evident in its bustling modern districts. For an experience encompassing both worlds, the Porta Nuova district juxtaposes futuristic skyscrapers with classical Milanese buildings. At the heart of it all is the vertically forested duo of skyscrapers, the Bosco Verticale, symbolizing Milan's commitment to sustainable urban development.
And for those eager to dive into the world of fashion, the Quadrilatero della Moda, or Fashion Quadrilateral, is Milan's haute couture hotspot. Delight in the latest trends, and maybe even treat yourself to a precious souvenir from this renowned fashion district.
