Milan is the second largest city of Italy, and its unquestionable financial, fashion and design capital. It contains one of the most identifiable cathedrals in the world, one of the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci, and an opera house that has premiered since 1778. Pass the shopping streets on the first day- Milan has a rich cultural heritage that the traveler who comes first in the city is rewarded.
The Appeal That is Better Than all Expectations
The core of the city is taken over by the Duomo di Milano. It was built between 1386 and around six centuries later -a fact that is palpable when you stand under its 135 marble spires.
Nevertheless, the majority of the visitors take pictures of the outside and exit. Ascend to the rooftop terraces, however: the sight over the Lombardy plain, and on a clear day even to the Alps, is worth the EUR13 ticket ten times over.
The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an iron-and-glass shopping arcade of the 19 th century, is located directly north of the Duomo and serves as the living room of the city. Thus take a stroll through its entire scope, 20 minutes long, feet on the mosaics, eyes on the octagonal dome at the top a token of attention which the vast majority of visitors pass over in haste.
The reasons why the Last Supper of Leonardo defies all the principles of tourist attractions
The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is painted directly onto a wall of a refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, painted between 1495 and 1498. The most frequented cultural destination in Milan is allowing only 25-person groups to enter the building at a time, actually 15 minutes long, which establishes the true closeness to the work. Book your tickets prior to 4-6 weeks through the official site of Vivaticket, because you will not get tickets on the spot or for a similar week.
The size of the painting also comes as a surprise to almost everyone. It is 4.6 meters high and 8.8 meters wide and occupies the end wall to the full extent and just draws your gaze across the table with an accurate compositional impact.
How to plan Two Days and Not waste either?
These experiences should be prioritized in the order as given below:
- Start at the Duomo roof at 9 AM so that you have adequate time to catch the light crowd seals the terrace.
- Book The Last Supper late morning first day – with combination of Santa Maria delle Grazie church exterior.
- Explore painting of the Italian Renaissance at the Pinacolta di Brera, with Raphnel at the Betrothal of the Virgin, in a cozy time of the day.
- Stroll through the Navigli canal area at nightfall, during the aperitivo hour making the bar along the canals actually local and vibrant.
- Reserve Castello Sforzesco to day two, its free courtyards and the half-finished Rondanini Pieta by Michelangelo, will last a whole morning.
Due to the tight-knit historic center of the city, the five experiences are within 30 minutes of each other in walking distance or by metro. Buy The Last Supper ticket this evening, and mould your two days round that definite item, and everything will work itself into its own place around it.
