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 Broletto. Change things up with these side-trips from Milan: Walking tours (in Florence), La Citta Alta (in Bergamo) and Como (Dep Design Store, Le Mille e Una Mella Caramelleria, &more). There's still lots to do: take in the architecture and atmosphere at Duomo di Milano, appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza del Duomo, admire the striking features of Villa del Balbianello, and look for gifts at Profumeria Bellagio.

For where to stay, traveler tips, more things to do, and tourist information, refer to the Milan online tour itinerary builder.

If you are flying in from Egypt, the closest major aiports are Malpensa International Airport, Milano Linate Airport and Milan Bergamo Airport. In December, plan for daily highs up to 9°C, and evening lows to 1°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 11th (Tue) to allow enough time to travel back home.
