Widely regarded as a mega fashion center teeming in designer shops, Milan also attracts many to its surviving world famous treasures like Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, The Last Supper, the La Scala Opera House, the Castello Sforzesco and one of the world’s largest Gothic cathedral.
Nonetheless, Milan sometimes appears less Italian compared to the country’s predominantly historic cities and more of a glamorous city with modern architecture.
Located in Italy’s northwestern region of Lombardy near the Alps and the scenic Lake District, Milan is a fast-paced city excelling in business, shopping, football, arts and nightlife.
More of a glamorous city with modern architecture and attractions, Milan appears less Italian compared to the country’s predominantly historic cities.
While Milan is famous for its abundance of upscale retail shopping that includes name brands like Prada, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, the city also offers several outlet centers where tourists can buy affordable designer products.
When planning a trip to Milan, tourists should consider the fact that many businesses and shops close during the month of August. As this tends to be the city’s hottest time of the year, many locals and proprietors go on holiday during this time.
