Milan is not Rome, okay. Nor is it Florence, okay. But Milan has its own charms and attractions. A destination for luxury shoppers and high-fashion enthusiasts, Milan also holds treasures for everyone. Your trip to Milan will take you to a city of business and wealth, but also one of culture, history, and football. Milan awaits in the north, with a pace that’s nothing like the south of the Italian boot. Put on your best suit (or don’t) and... enjoy!
"Luxury shops, world-class art, and the style of northern Italy"
Milan is one of Italy’s most historically illustrious cities, leaving a rich cultural and architectural heritage. Beyond that, the Lombard capital is one of the world’s top fashion capitals, internationally renowned. Despite being a major city, its main attractions are conveniently concentrated within a relatively small area. Booking a holiday apartment in Milan, choosing from the many available on Apartum, is the best way to explore it.
Staying in an apartment in Milan gives you the ideal base to explore the city at your own pace and discover its most iconic landmarks.
The Duomo is the grand Gothic cathedral located in the heart of the city. It took five centuries to complete, featuring pinkish-white marble cladding and spires topped with statues.
The Castello Sforzesco was a fortress in the 14th century and now houses numerous museums dedicated to ancient, Egyptian, and prehistoric art.
Milan is home to one of the world’s most famous opera houses, the Teatro alla Scala. It has witnessed the premieres of major works like Otello, Nabucco, and Madame Butterfly.
While the fashion capitals may rotate seasonally, Milan consistently remains in the top five. Its Fashion Week is one of the most prestigious events in the world. It would be unthinkable to stay in Milan without visiting some of its trendsetting hotspots.
If you’re in a Milan apartment, you must visit the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a 19th-century arcade with two intersecting glass-covered arcades. It houses luxury shops, restaurants, and historic establishments like Café Biffi, founded in 1867.
The famous Quadrilatero della Moda, with key streets like Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga, is the heart of the city’s luxury shopping scene, hosting brands like Gucci, Versace, Prada, Moschino, and Bulgari.
Other notable shopping streets include Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Corso di Porta Ticinese, and Via Torino.
You don’t need to walk like a Versace model. But it’s true that luxury and style are in the air, from its iconic salon to high-end boutiques. Speaking of exclusivity, Leonardo da Vinci’s *The Last Supper* is so sought after that you’ll only get 15 minutes to see it (if you manage to get a ticket). Whether basking in luxury or not, Milan requires moments of calm to counterbalance its busy energy.
If you’re up for more excitement, dress in blue and black for Inter or red and black for AC Milan, and experience top-tier football at San Siro. Oh, and don’t forget to spin (literally) on the bull’s testicles in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele—it’s supposed to bring good luck!
Milan is all about the Historic Centre, Città Studi, and Porta Garibaldi. The city’s Zona 1 hides its treasures, including the famous Duomo and the Pinacoteca di Brera. While Milan may not have Rome or Florence’s charm, it’s number one in glamour, fashion, and high-end window shopping. But there’s much more to discover...
The Milan Cathedral, or Duomo, is undoubtedly its most iconic landmark. But Milan is also home to the Teatro alla Scala and the Castello Sforzesco. It’s about the luxury shop windows of the Quadrilatero d’Oro (luxury isn’t cheap), the Brera district, and its Pinacoteca. Milan is enjoying a delicious panzerotto on the go, or for football fans, witnessing a Milan derby at San Siro.
Climb to the top of the Duomo to take in the city views, sip an aperitivo by its canals, cheer for Inter, or admire AC Milan’s counterattacks. Milan is luxury shopping and world-class art, like Leonardo da Vinci’s *The Last Supper*.
Find your time for Milan, and you’ll see if Italy is only about postcards of Tuscany and Rome. The views from the top of the Duomo will offer you a different perspective, as will enjoying an aperitivo by the Grande and Pavese canals (yes, canals).
Milan might be somewhat distant from Italy’s most typical destinations. However, nearby are mountains, lakes, and picturesque towns and cities that are well worth a day trip from Milan.
If you have enough time during your trip and feel like venturing outside Milan, there are options for every taste.
Bergamo: Home to one of the nearest airports, Bergamo’s upper city takes you back to the Middle Ages.
Lake Como: Just a stone’s throw from Milan, this lake is surrounded by postcard-perfect scenery.
Pavia: Known for its university and monastery, Pavia is one of Milan’s charming neighbours.
Lugano: If you’re up for crossing the border, Lugano offers 100% natural beauty.
If you want to be close to everything, Zone 1 is your target. Teatro alla Scala, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, and the renowned Quadrilatero d’Oro (whether for shopping or window browsing) await tourists who always expect much from Italy.
Central Milan is a great option to make the most of a weekend or holiday. Dream of Venice by its canals, spin on the bull’s testicles at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, and discover a city that’s more than just fashion.
Wake up and head to the Duomo as early as possible for panoramic views. Dedicate your 15 minutes to *The Last Supper*, then grab a panzerotto from Luini. Enjoy an aperitivo, a plate of ossobuco, and relax in Parco Sempione, next to Castello Sforzesco. Whether you shop or not, round off the day with some calcio—it’s a whole different ball game in Italy.
