If you want to navigate away from big names, Corsa di Porta Ticinese and Corsa Vercelli are great shopping spots.

Located just over an hour away from Milan, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como are idyllic day trips.

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.

This magnificent building showcases more statues and spires than any other in the world with over 3,150 in total, the most famous being the golden coated Madonnina (Little Madonna). The interior is just as beautiful as the exterior, however it's the views over the city that visitors want to see – climb the 150 steps (or take the lift) to the top of the building and admire the colourful landscape. On a clear day you can see as far as the snow-capped Alps.

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.
