6 days in Milan Itinerary

In many ways the most modern of Italian cities, Milan is a busy, elegant metropolis with an impressive list of grand palaces, fine churches, and important museums.

Do your shopping at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Libreria Ubik. Change things up with these side-trips from Milan: Walking tours (in Florence), La Citta Alta (in Bergamo) and Como (Broletto, Dep Design Store, &more). And it doesn't end there: pause for some serene contemplation at Duomo di Milano, take in the spiritual surroundings of Il Cenacolo, look for gifts at Profumeria Bellagio, and admire the landmark architecture of Villa del Balbianello.
