SHOPPING: As Milan is famous for shopping, there is almost every brand present in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (shopping mall) and in its neighbourhood.
DUOMO
The Milan Duomo cathedral is the city's single most-recognized symbol. The Gothic-inspired Duomo took nearly six centuries to complete, and finally completed in 1965. It is among the largest cathedrals in Europe. The Duomo is also the seat of the archbishop of Milan, Italy's largest and most influential diocese that gave the world two popes during the 20th century.
PIAZZA GAE AUELENTI
A visitor emerging from the Garibaldi train station may, in a moment of disorientation provoked by the glare of glass and steel, confuse the towering skyline ahead with the heart of post-unification Berlin. The new skyscrapers at Piazza Gae Aulenti, named for the late architect and designer, have little bearing on Milan's neoclassical architecture. Families flock to the raised, pedestrian piazza on weekends, a safe place for kids to dash about. A coffee shop and bookstore with free Wi-Fi is crowded even on rainy weekday mornings. The Unicredit Tower, the shiny new headquarters of Italy's largest bank, has claimed the title of Milan's tallest building at 715 feet, topped by a single twirling steel spire that echoes the spires of the now-dwarfed Duomo in the distance.
NAVIGLI
Milan has a navigable system of canals to ease commerce and construction throughout the centuries. Today the canals are the center of Milan's nightlife -- lined with restaurants and cafes -- but there is plenty to see by day. An antiques market featuring more than 350 sellers unpacks on the banks of the Naviglio Grande every last Sunday of the month except in July.
