Milan in a nutshell
At first glance, the northern Italian capital has an austere, grey feel and not as many historical monuments as other Italian cities.
You probably won't fall in love with Milan at first, but if you spend a long time in the city or visit it more than once, the capital of Lombardy will charm you and you won't be able to get it out of your head.
It's hard to resist a delicious cup of espresso overlooking the monumental Duomo, the magical evening atmosphere around the Navigli canals or lounging in the city's largest park , Sempione, by the magnificent Castello Sforzesco.
The city of fashion also captivates all lovers of shopping, for which tourists from all over the world head to Milan.
