On the walls of the Convent of Santa Maria de le Grazie, Leonardo da Vinci painted “The Last Supper”, one of the masterpieces in art history. The streets of this northern Italian city continue to be a great source of inspiration for artists.
A most fashionable city
The capital of the Italian region of Lombardia is also the world capital of fashion and design. Life in its beautiful historic centre revolves around the Duomo, whose white and pink marble façade make it one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in the world. Visitors can go up to its terraces to enjoy amazing panoramic views. If you want to make the most of your holiday in Milan, we recommend you visit the glass dome of the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery that connects the Piazza del Duomo and La Scala, home to the world's most important opera house. Nearby, in the Piazza Mercanti, there are spectacular palaces, and in the Quadrilátero de Oro some of the most luxurious Italian fashion houses.
