Some of the Main Sights:

Duomo Cathedral Duomo Cathedral - one of the biggest Gothic Cathedrals in the World. With 3 museums inside, you can even take an elevator up (or stairs if you are in good shape!) to walk outside on the roof!


Galleria Vittoria Emmanuele II Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II - near the Duomo, this immense covered area was constructed in honor of the King who unified Italy. Full of restaurants and shops. Called "Milan's Living Room" because it is a big meeting point!

Teatro alla Scala is Europe's premier Opera House. It also hosts numerous classical concerts. Just recently restored, it's a work of art itself!

Inside the world-renowned Opera House, the seating capacity is over 2,000.


Sforzesco Castle is an amazing testament to Milan's history right in the center of the city. It was home to the mighty Sforza family for years, and hosted Leonardo Da Vinci for a number of years while he lived in Milan. It is now full of museums and is used for cultural occasions. Recently lit at night, it is really some spectacular to see!

The ancient St. Ambrose Church is dedicated to the patron saint of the city, who lived in Milan and was bishop there in the 4th century. He is buried in a crystal crypt under the altar, which the public can visit.
