Top places to visit

1. Piazza del Duomo

The Piazza del Duomo is the central square in Milan. The spacious piazza is flanked by the Cathedral of Milan (Duomo) and surrounded by centuries-old buildings. This busy square is a hive of activity any day of the week. Start your trip to Milan here, as some of the most significant buildings in the city are close by and the city’s main streets fan out from the piazza. Go shopping at one of the oldest shopping centres in the world, admire the architecture or drink espresso in cafés surrounding the square.

2. Cathedral of Milan

Stand in front of the Cathedral of Milan (Duomo) to take in one of the largest churches in the world. The many intricate spires of the late Gothic building are truly impressive, and it’s little wonder that this structure took almost six centuries to build. The Duomo is an icon in Milan. It is instantly recognisable in the heart of the city, where it covers almost 12,000 square metres (40,000 square feet).
