Things to Do in Milan, Milan, Italy
Though Milan doesn鈥檛 have as much of the tourist draw that Italian cities like Rome and Venice do, it has its fair share of unmissable things to see and do. Here are some ideas to get you started.
The Milan Cathedral, or聽Duomo di Milano, is one of the world鈥檚 largest Gothic churches and the largest in Italy (not including St. Peter鈥檚 Basilica, which is technically not in Italy). Its impressive white marble facade is probably the city鈥檚 most iconic attraction. There are various tickets to see it ranging in price from 3 euro to 16 euro, depending on which areas of the Duomo you want to visit. The Duomo pass includes entrance to the archeological area under the Duomo as well as the Duomo Museum across the street, which is surprisingly large. I suggest not missing the cathedral鈥檚 upper terraces. They provide a birds鈥� eye view of Milan among the cathedral鈥檚 detailed columns and archways.
Aside from the cathedral, Milan has the distinction of housing Leonardo da Vinci鈥檚 original mural of the Last Supper. It鈥檚 a nightmare to get tickets, and you should do that way in advance online or by phone. But it鈥檚 an important work that you shouldn鈥檛 miss if you鈥檙e in Milan. You can learn everything you need to know about booking tickets聽here. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
