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