Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
The best way of exploring Milan is on foot, especially if you’re staying in the centre. However, public transport is available, and very easy to make use of, if you do want to take the weight off, including taxis, buses, trams, a suburban rail link and the subway. Bike rental is also very popular. Driving is fine if you’re hoping to explore the surrounding countryside, but best avoided if you’re staying central.
Bring Out your Inner Fashionista
Catwalk veterans including Armani, Versace and Prada grace Milan’s top shopping streets, and while you may need to flash the plastic to afford a single shoe (let alone a pair), browsing the flagship stores is a must do. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele is among Milan's most glamorous malls so take some time to wander through its ornate arches and past its colourful mosaics and you'll find your favourite designer stores. If you want to navigate away from big names, Corsa di Porta Ticinese and Corsa Vercelli are great shopping spots.
View Da Vinci’s Last Supper
On permanent display at the Santa Maria della Grazie Church, Leonardo Da Vinci’s iconic masterpiece can be seen in all its glory. It’s arguably one of the most important paintings of the Renaissance era and attracts tourists by the coach-load, so make sure you reserve an allocated 15-minute time slot and see this famous piece for yourself.
Dine on a tram
Milan's original 1920's yellow and orange trams shuttle excited visitors through the centre of the city, and if you hop aboard the number 1 you'll see some of Milan's most symbolic monuments. Take to the tracks during the evening and enjoy a vintage tram ride on the ATmosfera, a tram which serves dinner and wine.
Enjoy Italian Wine Tasting
If you're a wine lover, no holiday to Italy is complete without a traditional wine tasting tour and there are plenty of opportunities to become a connoisseur in this city. Combine sipping with sightseeing on an evening tour of Navigli, the canal side district of Milan, where you can discover new wines and walks as you wander the moonlit streets. Visit the vineyards in the sparkling wine region of Franciacorta, just an hour's drive from the city, or settle in a classy bar and enjoy private wine tasting with an expert sommelier, accompanied by local cheese and cured meats.
