Sightseeing
Milan is not only fashion and busy working environment but also a city that is filled with historical sights and cultural life. Most of the sights are located close to the Duomo, the main attraction in Milan. This makes it easy for visitors to stroll and experience the city, although Milan also possesses a very well organised public transport system. There are many pedestrian areas which are shaped by a colourful mix of different architectural styles. Here you find the pomp of former Austrian Empire, graceful Italian Renaissance buildings and decorative Art Nouveau houses that are combined with the young and modern buildings of present-day Milan. The Italian metropolis is bustling and fast and this tempo can be unrelenting. In order to enjoy this tireless atmosphere, visitors should try to plan their time thoroughly. People who fall for romanticism should go to the Southern part of the Old Town where the shores of the Canale Naviglio Grande are filled with old washhouses and deliver a dreamy picture of the city. Also the university quarter is worth a visit as well as the two Basilica Sant Eustorgio and Sant Ambrogio, although there are many other nice churches and sights like the Cimitero Monumentale or the Castello Sforzesco. Among the parks and gardens of Milan the Parco Sempione and the Giardini Pubblici are the most nicest oasis in the city which offer a place for rest and piece.
