Guidebooks Milan

The capital of fashion, shopping and trade and the most modern and cosmopolitan city in Italy, Milan attracts large numbers of tourists and is able to suit even their most demanding requirements.

The huge artistic heritage cherished by Milan's old town, new facilities designed to host concerts, exhibitions and further events, a remarkably wide range of clubs and cultural events and a dazzling array of different accommodation options make Milan the privileged holiday destination for cultural tourists and travellers from all over the world.

Not to be missed are food and wine itineraries, which give tourists the possibility to taste traditional local staples and fine local wines, boat trips along the shipways and the river Po, which give participants the possibility to admire wonderful Renaissance villas, sumptuous Baroque palaces and elegant Neoclassical residences, and interesting cycle itineraries, such as the path which flanks Canale Villoresi and provides sweeping views over lush parks, ancient villages and enchanting landscapes.

Not to be missed are large protected natural areas, such as Sempione and Nord Milano Parks, which give both tourists and local inhabitants the possibility to relax, go for long walks or play sport, or the huge Park of the Lambro Valley, which extends across the surrounding provinces along the course of the river, thus gathering a remarkably wide array of different landscapes.
