Milan is internationally recognized as one of the world’s most important fashion capitals, but it also has a wealth of interesting museums and things to see and do. Milan offers all the advantages of a large city, but it is relatively small, as tourists can get to most of the city’s attractions and museums by foot. Some of the city’s most beautiful attractions include the Duomo di Milano, an impressive Opera House, a striking castle, ancient churches and a variety of museums and art galleries.
