milan is based on a cross like structure. in order to see all the best things in milan one most start at the san siro stadium also known as Giuseppe Meazza and draw a straight line all the way through to the linate airport. this will makee you see all the hotspots including the historical sforza castle, the city center for shopping and obviously the catherdral the duomo. the other line of the cross is from the duomo going through to the colonne di san lorenzo and the other end of the town towards the central station. through this line you basically stick to the old gates of the rich, noble and medival milan. hence you experience the modern night life following the horizontal lines of the gates while the vertical ones are the lines of culture and history.

Milan is a beautiful place with lots to do. If you are going you must check out the Cathedarl (Il Duomo) which is the second biggest place of worship in the World after St. Pauls Cathedral in the Vatican. There is plenty to do in Milan, especially if you like the shops. Lovely restaurants and home to the other 7 star hotel. There is only two in the world. one in Milan and the other in Dubai.

San Martino della Battaglia is a memorial to the thousands who died at the Battle of San Martino. It is the famous site were the red cross was founded due to the goryness of the battle. It was to comemorate the Italians victory over the Austrians.

A beautiful country with many different places to visit: from the Alps to the beaches, from the countryside to the cities. Full of history and nature, good food and wines from the nort to the south. One of my favorite? Venice: a magic place out of the time to spend a romantic trip.
