From Milan Bergamo Airport, the centre of Milan is easily reached in just over an hour. By far Italy’s most stylish city, fashion and design are at the heart of Milanese culture. Wandering along the city’s streets, you’ll discover both local and international designers, as well as some of the city’s most striking buildings.

The main streets, lined with impressively large buildings, are symbolic of the city’s financial presence on the world stage. Its gothic cathedral, the Duomo, marks the centre of the city. The Santa Maria delle Grazie church, which now famously houses Da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’, is also a must-see.

While cutting-edge style is important to Milan, history plays an equal role in generating the city’s unique vibe. Just about every sight here holds historical importance, like the Teatro alla Scala. Inaugurated in 1778, it houses a museum exploring Milanese musical drama over the centuries and was famously the venue for performances by the opera diva Maria Callas. Look out for the ancient Basilica di Sant’Eustorgio church, built all the way back in the 4th century.

While you’re here, visit the Museo del Novecento overlooking the Piazza del Duomo.Check out an incredible collection of artworks from a huge variety of periods, as well as pieces by the likes of Botticelli and Bellini.

 

From Milan Bergamo Airport, head out past the city limits of Milan and you’ll open up a world of sights just waiting to be explored.

Turin
Turin is less than a two-hour drive along the A4 from Milan. This ancient city has buildings dating back to Roman times – many found in the main square, the Piazza Castello. Here, you’ll also see the impressive Palazzo Madama palace, home to the Museum of Ancient Arts.

Pavia
Just under an hour down the A7 from Milan, Pavia was once the capital of what was the Kingdom of Italy. In Roman times it was used as a garrison. There are many towers, churches and other monuments to see here. The main attraction is the imposing Musei Civici, built in 1360, which overlooks the city.

Verona
Verona has over 2,000 years of history, but is most famous for its links to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. As the romantic city was the setting of the play, today you can visit Juliet’s balcony where a statue of the star-crossed lover sits. The city’s Roman theatre is also well worth a visit, as is the ancient city wall, which you can stroll around.
