2 days in Milano, Italy
Milano (Milan) is the fashion capital of the world and you definitely see it walking around. This was one of my favorite cities in Italy that I wasn't expecting to love so much. Milan not only has great architecture and history, but it has style and is a little "weird" which I very much enjoyed.
*Pro Tip: APERITIVO is Italy’s Happy Hour 5-6PM
What to do
Duomo di Milano
Vittorio Emanuele II (Galleria)
Brera
Terrazza Aperol (best view of Duomo di Milano)
Parc Sempione (relax from the city)
Arco Della Pace - The Arc of Peace
Canals in Navigli
Milano Centrale
Bosco Verticale (Apartment Building - Crazy Architecture)
Where to stay
I stayed in an AirBnB in the Navigli neighborhood and would highly suggest doing the same! There is such a vibrance and deep sense of culture in this neighborhood, it is fun to walk around, look at the shops and find a delicious restaurant.
