Milan and Cathedral of Milan are almost inseparable. A vacation here simply wouldn't be complete without a visit to this famous attraction.

You don't have to worry about getting bored in this metropolis. Santa Maria Delle Grazie and Teatro alla Scala will be sure to keep you entertained. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Piazza del Duomo are also some worthwhile attractions that are worth an outing.

Castello Sforzesco is a maze of time-worn corridors, rooms and halls. Go inside, roam its grounds and try to find out about this mighty structure. There's a fabulous range of things to do in this destination. A wise man once said, "Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos." Wonder at the intriguing works at Pinacoteca di Brera, and take a moment to picture the story of each piece. Still have time on your hands? Grab some bread, cheese and a cool drink and treat yourself to a picnic at Sempione Park. It's one of the most relaxing spaces to plonk yourself down and while away an afternoon.
