Once an introverted city, and often difficult to read, Milan has become the capital for fashion, innovation and design. A cityscape exuding energy between the façades of yesterday and today
 

Tourism Milan. Catapulted into the spotlight just a few decades ago, the 1991 debut of Fuorisalone, the lively spin-off of the Salone del Mobile, established Milan Design Week as one of the most anticipated events in the world. After Expo 2015, the city expanded its reign to include capital of food, while maintaining its position as an international fashion powerhouse. Today the metropolis marches towards the future, revisiting forgotten areas and neighborhoods and breathing life back into post-industrial spaces.

Exposed beams and concrete are restored while new skyscrapers rise up in City Life and Porta Nuova alongside the new Mercati Metropolitani and the Bosco Verticale. Contemporary art fills recycled spaces like the old hangars of Hangar Bicocca and an early 20th century distillery, now the Fondazione Prada.

Leonardo da Vinci’s one and only The Last Supper is protected in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, remaining an absolute must for visitors, followed by the Pinacoteca di Brera. Last but not least, a day of shopping is always a guarantee in the city of chic. Ready to be explored, Milan remains on the cutting edge of it all.
