Must see sights for culture vultures!

Milan's Duomo, or Cathedral, is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Construction started in 1386 but took nearly 500 years to complete. 135 spires and 3200 statues adorn the duomo roof and you can take an elevator (or climb the stairs) to the rooftop for a close-up view as well as magnificent views of the city below.

The 15th century Convent of Santa Maria della Grazie houses Leonardo Da Vinci's famous fresco, the Last Supper. Although the building was bombed in 1943, the fresco survived. Book in advance if you want to see the fresco!

Milan's castle, Castello Sforzesco, is near the center of Milan, inside are several museums, if museums are not your thing, the castle is a good place to wander around and the courtyard serves as a local park. You can see castle artifacts and architecture details. The art museum houses Michelangelo's last sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà. There's also the Museum of Ancient Art, a collection of musical instruments, and the Egyptian and prehistoric sections of the Archeology Museum.

Shop til you drop!

If you fancy a bit of window shopping, stroll along Via Napoleone and the surrounding streets for Gucci, Versace, Valentino and Dolce & Gabana and loads of other top designer flagship stores!

Don't miss - The Ferrari store! If you like Ferrari, visit their impressive shop in the Montenapoleone elite shopping area on Piazza Liberty. Buy souvenirs from 6 Euros or simply enjoy the spectacle. The most expensive item in the shop? A Ferrari road car with a jaw dropping 700,000 Euro price tag!

For the fashionistas!

In April, the city plays host to Milan Fashion Week. Held four times a year the event will showcase men and women's fashion weeks for Spring, Summer and Autumn/Winter collections. Be warned though, the odds of getting tickets are slim! These shows are by invitation only and are exclusively restricted to fashion insiders and VIPs.

Eat, drink and socialise Milanese style!

Cafe culture is big business in Milan, especially in Summer! Sip on espressos while people watching over a sun soaked piazza or enjoy a cocktail on the Hotel rooftop on a hot Summer night!

Milan cuisine, much like everything else in the city is influenced by fashion and the trend of the moment but the original blend of various national traditions makes Milan an important part of the culinary scene. You can sample traditional Italian cooking all over the city, look out for excellent cheese such as Grana Padano, Mascarpone, Gorgonzola and Crescenza as well as the popular traditional Milanese Risottos.

Football Fanatics!

Boasting two of the world's greatest club football teams, AC and Inter, Milan is a must for anyone wanting to watch some of the best footballers in the world exhibiting their skills. Even on non-match days, the impressive 85,000 seater San Siro stadium offers plenty for the avid football fan, with tours of the ground where some of the most classic encounters have happened and a museum documenting the history of the two clubs that call the San Siro 'home'.
