Do you really need 10 good reasons to visit Milan? It is true that lots of people think of thick fog and heavy traffic when it comes to mind, but with these 10 suggestions we are sure you will fall in love with it.

Go to the terrace of its Cathedral or Duomo or the rooftop of the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery and admire the skyline from above. If weather allows it, you can see downtown rooftops, skyscrapers and the Alps, it is particularly beautiful at sunset.

Cultural tourism lovers must take more than just a weekend to fully enjoy all the landmarks, museums and events the regional capital has to offer. 

Once you get your culture fill, it is good to remember that you are in the country's fashion epicenter, so head to the Quadrilatero district and go shopping.

Discover the romantic side of this Milanese urban life by taking a boat tour along the canals of the Navigli.  

This corner of northern Italy is famous for its parks. Consider visiting the ones of Sempione and Forlanini, plus those hidden in Villa Belgioioso. 

If that is not enough, we remind you that this is a cosmopolitan metropolis, celebrated by its culinary scene. Traditional local dishes, haute cuisine, ethnic and street food, you are guaranteed to find it here.
