While it's known as the commercial and financial center of Italy, Milan has a dynamic cultural side as well. The city boasts the fifth-largest church in the world (the Duomo), one of the oldest shopping malls in the world (Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II) and a fabulous opera (Teatro alla Scala), which saw the premieres of Verdi’s “Nabucco” and Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly” and “Turandot.” There are a wealth of masterpieces waiting to be seen as well, including "The Last Supper" and the "Codex Atlanticus" by Leonardo da Vinci. Although Milan is one of Europe's most populous cities, it is surrounded by green space and affords the casual visitor many opportunities to stroll in various parks and gardens. The famous Italian fashion brands are headquartered here as well, so those interested in shopping will have no shortage of luxury boutiques to choose from.

The architecture of Milan is as varied as its museum and gallery offerings: from early medieval to mid century through to contemporary. Its design and fashion heritage also lend the city a cosmopolitan personality you won’t find anywhere else.
