Hike along an ancient trail and visit the Prada Foundation.
Beyond its reputation as Italy's hub for finance and fashion, Milan is also a cultural powerhouse with museums and galleries, an impressively ornate Duomo, and a palazzo-lined historic center. While Milan might be a gateway to outdoorsy destinations like the Lakes Region and the Alps, there are also over 100 miles of cycling paths inside the city proper.
Here, what to see, do, and eat in Milan.
Where to stay
Tucked into the bohemian Brera neighborhood, Locanda Pandenus is an elegant inn. The property includes four suites and a lively bistro helmed by decorated Tuscan chef Enrico Bartolini.
The Senato Hotel is located near Via Montenapoleone, Milan’s upscale retail thoroughfare. Its interiors are an ode to Art Deco design, featuring a predominantly monochrome palette with gold, marble, and wooden accents.
