Milan is Italy’s financial and fashion capital, and a different proposition from Rome or Florence — modern, fast-moving, and built for business as much as for visitors.
The Duomo and Leonardo’s Last Supper are the essential sights, and the Italian lakes — Como, Maggiore, Garda — are all within an hour or two by train.
