While every major city in Italy offers a wide range of must-see attractions, no metropolis on the peninsula mixes ancient and modern better than Milano. This intersection of world-class art, high fashion, and stunning architecture is brimming with attractions that will help understanding how Italy’s past continues to influence its present. Milano boasts a unique artistic heritage, of which Da Vinci’s Last Supper is the best-known masterpiece.

Over 2,400 years of history have bestowed a rich inheritance on the city, with archaeological remains, Roman basilicas, Paleochristian mosaics, gothic cathedrals, Art Nouveau monuments and globally renewed museums preserving sculptures by Michelangelo and canvasses by Picasso.
