Milan is the stylish, modern Italy.
This busy metropolis is Italy’s second largest city and, while Rome is the political capital, Milan is the capital of business, finance and industry.
For most visitors, Milan means chic Italian fashion, stylish bars and restaurants, bustling streets filled with smartly dressed locals, as well as the opportunity of seeing the Opera in the world-famous Teatro alla Scala.
It’s not an outdoor museum; rather it is an architectural, urban wealth, alive and vivid, enhanced and emphasised in the daily life of the city. The Castello Sforzesco (Sforza Castle), Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Palazzo Reale, Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace), Liberty-style buildings and other architectural masterpieces and monuments are all part of this wealth.
