If you have only one day to explore Milan, it is important to focus on the main sights and enjoy the atmosphere of the city. Here is a plan that will help you make the most of your time in Milan:
Morning:
-
Duomo Cathedral: Start your day by visiting Milan's symbol - the Duomo Cathedral. Try to arrive early to avoid the crowds. Climb to the roof of the cathedral for stunning views of the city.
-
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: After visiting the Duomo, stop by the nearby gallery. Here you can admire impressive architecture, as well as visit shops and cafes.
Day:
-
Sforza Castle: Take a stroll to the castle, which is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Duomo. Explore the museum complex and beautiful gardens.
-
Sempione Park: After visiting the castle, enjoy a walk in the main city park. It's a great place for a short break and relaxation.
-
Santa Maria delle Grazie Church: If you have the opportunity to book tickets in advance, visit Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper." Make sure to get tickets several weeks before your trip.
Evening:
-
Brera District: Take a stroll through this picturesque area with its narrow streets, art galleries, and cozy restaurants. Perfect spot for dinner.
-
Navigli: End your day in the Navigli area, known for its canals. It's a great place to enjoy an evening drink in one of the many bars and restaurants.
Additional tips:
- Transport: Milan has a well-developed public transport network, including the metro, trams, and buses. It's best to purchase a daily ticket that allows you to move freely around the city.
- Clothing: Since you will be visiting religious sites, it is best to choose conservative clothing - covered shoulders and knees.
- Language: English is often spoken in tourist areas, but a few phrases in Italian will always be helpful.
Enjoy your day in Milan!
