Welcome to Milan,one of the most important Italian cities, famous for its fashion streets and the Da Vinci's Last supper. Let's try to visit the most important things in one day. What to see in Milan in just one day? Let's start!
From the train station or from hotel take the metro to the Duomo metro station. From the train station (centrale FS) you have to take the yellow metro line to Duomo: the ticket costs 1,50 euros and the cathedral is at the fourth stop.
The Duomo is the largest church in Italy and the fifth in the world and took nearly 6 centuries to complete. You can buy ticket to visit only the inside of the church, to climb up to the terraces, or to see the baptistery or a single ticket for all the places. You can book them in the official website of the Duomo.
From the Piazza del Duomo you can enter the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the world's oldest shopping mall. When you see the mosaic with the Turin coat of arms, a bull, don't forget to put your right heel on the bull's genitals and turn on it three times, that brings good luck!
Outside the gallery there is Teatro alla Scala (in italian also "La Scala") the famous opera house built in 1776. Walk now in via Margherita, then turn in Via Filodrammatici until you reach the Sforza Castle, or take a metro to the Cairoli Castello station (in this case you have to head back to the Duomo metro station). The castle was built in the 15th century by the Duke of Milan. It hosts now many museums that you can visit by booking in the official site of the Sforza Castle your ticket.
Walk now in via Minghetti, then Carducci, and turn right in via Corso Magenta until you reach Santa Maria delle Grazie a church included in the UNESCO World Heritage sites and where you can find the Da Vinci's Last Supper. To see this famous mural the reservation is compulsory, you can book your ticket in vivaticket website.
If you want to go shopping try the so called quadrilatero della moda (quadrilateral of fashion), a high-class shopping district in the Via Montenapoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia .
