September 2nd, 2009 by David Norman, under Vacations. No Comments
Milan city breaks and recreation stops are chic and sophisticated. It’s the commercial capital of Italy. If shopping is your thing, then Milan has something to blow you away. They boast some of the best shopping anywhere in the world, and are famous for the ‘Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. You can take in some opera while you’re there. They’re also famous for their La Scala Theatre.
If history is what excites you, then you’re sure to stay excited while you’re in Milan. They have numerous churches with ancient architecture, and they can brag about having one of the largest churches in the world, known as the Gothic Duomo. They’re steeped in history and a sure fire winner for the history buff.
When it comes to fashion, Milan holds it’s head up high. The Porta Genova station in the Fiera District is the main location for all the fashion in Milan. The fashion squares are divided into four main parts. One is the Piazza San Babila, and one the Piazza Cordusio, and one the Piazza Cairoli, and the last is Piazza Duomo. Milan city breaks and recreation while there are top quality, and well worth looking into.
You’ll find Milan in the Lombardy Region. The Milan province is located within this Italian region. The stock exchange of Italy also resides in this region. Hanging inside some of it’s churches is a history buff and an artist’s dream. This would be some of the work of Leonardo da Vinci himself. The one we all seem to remember the most is his famous ‘Last Supper’, and it can be found here in Milan at the Church of Santa Maria dell Grazie.
There are at least three main subway lines that have given Milan a ranking of ‘second’ in size for Italy’s railways. They have adopted our Happy Hour concept, and throw out a buffet with drinks and charge about five Euros to join in on the fun. If you’re looking for good deals on Hotels, then Milan has you covered here as well.
Recreation and Milan city breaks go hand in hand. But if you find you have a taste for more of a country scene, then only 40 minutes train ride can get you out to the Lombardy Mountains. Here you’ll find some of the most beautiful lakes and valleys you’ve ever seen. So if your choice for a break settles on Milan, you’ve done yourself well.
