1Days 1–2: Milan – Where Fashion Meets Fine Art
Begin your artistic journey in Milan, Italy’s stylish northern capital where fashion, design, and historic art intersect. While many visitors think of Milan primarily as a shopping destination, the city also holds some remarkable cultural treasures.
The highlight for many art lovers is Leonardo da Vinci’s legendary mural The Last Supper, located inside the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Viewing this masterpiece in person is a moving experience, so booking tickets well in advance is essential.
Next, explore the Pinacoteca di Brera, one of Italy’s finest art museums. Its galleries house extraordinary works by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian. The surrounding Brera district is also a delight, with cobbled streets, elegant boutiques, and small cafés perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
Don’t miss the rooftop terraces of Milan’s iconic Duomo cathedral. From the marble spires you can enjoy sweeping views of the city, especially beautiful on clear spring days.
