Considered a modern city that has been seduced by the trappings of glamour and fashion excess, Milan is extremely underrated as a historical city break destination. It may not quite be able to compete with Rome or Venice, but has a wealth of captivating attractions and a real ace up its sleeve in the iconic painting of ‘the Last Supper’ by Leonardo da Vinci. Short breaks in Milan come to worship high fashion, football, opera and shopping but first sight of the monumental Duomo cathedral will really arouse your passion. This gigantic Gothic work of art is awash with soaring spires and statues in gleaming white marble and a climb up to the roof affords a spectacular view of the city skyline.
