3) Experience Castello Sforzesco

Due to the fact that you don’t have to climb a hill to reach it, Castello Sforzesco is one of the most unique castles in Europe. The huge castle is located very close to the center of Milan, giving travelers an easy access to its museums and beautiful courtyards.

4) Get Some Culture At Teatro Alla Scala

Whether you’re into opera or not, the legendary La Scala Theater and its’ museum is a unique way to experience one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world.

Those in search of culture are highly recommended to see a performance at Teatro Alla Scala. Since the opera season in Milan begins in early to mid-December and a lot of performances run in May, the winter and spring seasons might be one of the best times to visit Italy. If opera is something you’d like to experience while visiting Milan, you need to purchase tickets at least a month in advance because tickets for performances sell out very fast.

5) Visit The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

Due to its magnificent mosaics, glass-and-iron dome, as well as the marble floors, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele arcade is definitely one of the world’s most sophisticated shopping malls. Here you can find different stores like Gucci, Armani, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Versace. Even if you’re not crazily into shopping, the glamorous arcade itself is worth the visit!

6) Go Green

The amount of green space that Milan presents is another pleasant surprise to travelers. People usually would not expect that a city like Milan – famous for fashion and finance, would have a fine selection of gardens and parks. Summer season is one of the best times to come for a visit as bigger spaces in Milan are usually used as venues for different concerts and festivals, giving visitors an opportunity to relax and join the locals after a long day of shopping and sightseeing.
