Why? Travel to Milan to discover the 'alternative' Italy, for the city embodies everything that is chic and sophisticated in Italian culture, far removed from quaint Tuscan villages or warbling gondoliers. Milan is the home of haute couture and haute cuisine, world-class shopping, supreme opera, sleek skyscrapers, tasteful galleries and museums, and spacious piazzas. A holiday in Milan is a stylish experience.
When? Mid-summer is stifling hot and humid in the city and most locals head for the lakes at this time of year. The best time to holiday in Milan is in early summer, or early autumn, when the weather is warm and sunny. Winters are very chilly, wet and foggy.
Who for? Fashion fundis, shopaholics, opera lovers and anyone who enjoys the finer things in life (and can afford to pay for them) will revel in a holiday in Milan. Art lovers are also drawn to travel to Milan to see the treasures stored in its leading galleries, but the piece de resistance, da Vinci's The Last Supper fresco, is in the refectory of the Santa Maria delle Grazie.
More Info: To plan a holiday in Milan, make use of our Milan travel guide, which gives details of the major events and attractions in the city, including how to make essential advance bookings for viewing The Last Supper.
