7 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.

Shop till you drop at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Bellagioseta. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Duomo di Milano and Sacro Monte di Ossuccio. Change things up with these side-trips from Milan: Bellagio (Enoteca Principessa, I Giardini di Villa Melzi, &more), Grotte di Rescia (in Claino con Osteno) and AC Boat (in Menaggio). There's lots more to do: step into the grandiose world of Castello Sforzesco, take in the awesome beauty at Monte Legnoncino, tour the pleasant surroundings at Parco Valle Albano, and admire the natural beauty at Villa Carlotta.
