    I think it’s completely worth it, all the art and history that goes through the walls of the cathedral, also the steps you put in while going up the hundred stairs, gorgeous views and experience. Please note that they are currently under renovation so a few parts aren’t available to the public

    Milan Cathedral Square is the heart of the city. The Gothic cathedral is spectacular and the details are as exquisite as works of art! The surrounding area is very lively and suitable for taking photos and checking in, but it is a bit crowded with many tourists. The pigeons are not afraid of people, which adds a bit of fun. It is very convenient to go directly to the subway, but be careful of hawkers. The overall atmosphere is great, free and open, a must-see when you come to Milan!

    You only had 15 mins in the museum and you have to arrive 15 mins before to verify your tickets with passport. If you are really interested then I think it’s worth the trip.

    Get there early. There’s a lovely place across the street where you can grab a coffee or gelato and a washroom visit. I had no idea that I would be so moved by seeing Leonardo’s painting of The Last Supper. It moved me to tears. I am so grateful that the efforts were put into preserving and protecting this treasure. Nice book store as you exit. Grateful for UNESCO World Heritage Sites as well.

    The 5 euro museum ticket felt quite worth it, and I saw a lot of things. Outside the castle is a park, and many people enjoy their weekends on the grass.

    This is a worthwhile art gallery in Milan. There are several impressive paintings. The gallery is not big, but it is easier for viewers to find the key points. Milan is a beautiful city.

    Sempione Park is a rare green oxygen bar in the center of Milan! It is next to the Sforza Castle. It is very comfortable to take a walk here after visiting the ancient monuments. The tree-lined avenue is quiet and the lawn is open. Locals often come here to sunbathe and jog. The Peace Arch at the end of the park is very photogenic, especially beautiful in the evening. It is free and suitable for resting and dazed after walking tired. It is more comfortable with fewer tourists!

    It was a very exciting derby. The feeling at the scene was great! The noise at the scene, the enthusiasm of the fans, the intensity of the game, and the Hall of Fame awards given to Baresi and Shevchenko before the game were definitely unforgettable.

    visited lake como in November 2023, I wouldn’t recommend going at that time of the year as we experienced a lot of rain, nonetheless it was still a beautiful place, with lots to do! We went to Bellagio and Varenna by ferry, which was super easy to use and both places were breathtaking
