Hotels in Mailand

Milan is the capital of Lombardy in the north of Italy. It is not only the financial centre but also the seat of numerous fashion labels and the leading centre of fashion and design which can be named in the same breath as Paris and New York. With around 9 Mio. people per year, Milan is, after Rome the most visited city in Italy. Most of the guests come for business reason but Milan has much more to offer. Extremes characterise the city, what can be discovered in the magnificent buildings of Roman churches which are determined by an architecture of purpose in a hectic but creative trading city. The Scala, the Piccolo Teatro and the galleries Brera and Ambrosiana are the figureheads for Milan if it comes to fine arts. But also phenomenons of mass culture have their home over here for example advertising and football. Milan’s seven universities including numerous faculties made the city to a capital of technology and research. Besides, Milan is packed with music cafes and clubs where the air burns all throughout the year. But although a lot of fun and excitement surrounds the city, it is an expensive place to be. Furthermore it is not an easy place to be. It is loud until late in the night, fast, efficient and challenging. Still today Milan is the industrial centre of Italy, although these times are already long past. But the dynamic still exists. Many companies and service providers have their seat in Milan and shape its character as a leading economical and financial centre. About 1.3 Mio. people live in Milan and the surrounding area and approximately 800.000 people commute every day.
