TOP Things to EAT, SEE and DO in Milan - Italy Travel Guide!
If you are planning a visit to Milan in Italy, then don't forget to visit these 5 places for amazing foods, experiences and people!
Introduction:
Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Triple P where we explore people, places and palates. So today guys I am in the fashion capital of the world, where else than Milan in Italy, and I am going to be taking you guys through the 5 things that you have to eat and see on a day trip to this fantastic place. So let’s go!
Number 1: The Milan Cathedral “Duomo”
This iconic structure is extremely special! It is the second largest church in Italy after St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and the third largest catholic church in the world. Not only that it also has an impressive number of sculpted statues and spires built onto this building - guess how many? 3159! It is not wonder that it took over six centuries to complete. It is definitely worth not only checking the altars inside, but to also make your way onto the roof for amazing views across the city.
Number 2: Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Right next to the cathedral you have Italy's oldest luxury shopping mall and a major landmark of Milan, named after the first king of Italy. The beauty of its arched dome, its glass and iron roof as well as its spectacular mosaics will absolutely mesmerise you. It is here that you will find some of Milan’s legends such as The Camparino which gave birth to the tradition of the aperitif, or even the famous Savini restaurant-cafe, where you can savour the traditional Risotto Milanese as well as their pistachio and hazelnut gelatos. Take a break from your shopping at Gucci or Prada, and savour Savini’s 150 year old delights.
Number 3: The Sforzesco Castle and Park Sempione
This castle has had a rich history and surprisingly has been transformed for a plethora of purposes. It originally started of as a Visconti fortress, but later turned into a stunning palace ruled by the Sforza dynasty. Did you know that it was during this time that it was decorated by artistic legends such as Leonardo da Vinci! It then went on to become a military complex and finally in the early 20th century was turned it into the headquarters for Milan’s Civic Museums. In between this castle as well as the “Arch of Peace” lies the beloved Park Sempione, the largest park in Milan and a favourite amongst the locals.
Number 4: Panzerotti at Luini
Since 1888, the shop Luini has become a household name and a local’s delight. Everyone is making a bee-line for these pillowy fried dough parcels from heaven for less than 3 euros! You can get it with various different fillings including the original tomato and mozzarella, the classic ricotta and spinach or even the delicious salami. There are tons of flavours to chose from! Unfortunately I was not able to take any photos or videos inside the shop due to their policy. Their guard informed me that they wanted to keep the famous recipe a secret. Exclusive eh?
Number 5: The Navigli District
If you are looking for a great hang out spot that is charming, vibrant and filled with life than head on over to the Navigli area. Enjoy the happening night life at the restaurants and bars, or just visit some of the cozy shops and book stores right by the canal. If you are looking for something more unique, then visit the “smallest bar in the world” called “Backdoor 43”, a tiny 4 square meter place in the wall cocktail bar that you may just easily miss. Through a hatch you’ll be greeted by a barman wearing a V for Vendetta mask and the rest of the experience, I won’t give away. You’ll just need to go there to find out for yourself!
