Recreation and Milan city breaks are practically synonymous. Milan has grown to be quite a sophisticated city, and is Italy’s commercial capital. For those who love to shop, Milan is a place that can boast many things in this category. Their own ‘Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of the most famous shopping areas in the world. And while you’re in Milan, why not take in an opera at their La Scala Theatre.
If you get there and go to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, you’ll find shopping unlike any place you’ve ever shopped before. And if you love opera, then you’ve landed in the right place to totally satisfy your opera appetite. If you visit the La Scala theatre you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the great opera you can experience there. For the architects, the old ancient buildings and churches should be more than enough to make your mouth water.
For you who are into fashion, then you’ll never forget Milan. Like I said, Milan city breaks wreak of variety. Four squares make up the main hub for fashion in Milan. One is the Piazza Cordusio, then there’s the Piazza San Babila, and the Piazza Carioli, and finally the Piazza Duomo. You can find great shopping around these four squares unlike anything you’ve seen anywhere else.
You’ll find Milan in the Lombardy Region. The Milan province is located within this Italian region. The stock exchange of Italy also resides in this region. Hanging inside some of it’s churches is a history buff and an artist’s dream. This would be some of the work of Leonardo da Vinci himself. The one we all seem to remember the most is his famous ‘Last Supper’, and it can be found here in Milan at the Church of Santa Maria dell Grazie.
Milan contains three subway lines, and rank second in size as far as railways go in Italy. Their ‘Happy Hour’ consists of a buffet along with drinks for around five Euros. The hotels are exquisite and you can find them that are cheap enough to leave you plenty of money for exploring this beautiful city and enjoying your stay.
Again, Milan city breaks wreak of variety in all that you can do and all you can learn. If you’re the type of person who loves the countryside, then by all means hop a train out to the Lombardy mountains where you can see some of the most beautiful country ever, loaded with lakes and valleys and scenery that will take your breath away. Yes, if you decide on taking your break in Milan, then you’re going to be glad about it from now on.
