Milan can confidently be called one of the world capitals of fashion and shopping. Since 1979, the city has been hosting Fashion Week every six months, featuring dozens of fashion shows by leading Italian designers (including Dolce&Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Gucci, and other renowned brands known worldwide).
During these days, fashionistas from all over the world gather in Milan to be the first to learn about new trends. Milan is also famous for its outlets, where you can buy clothing, shoes, and accessories from well-known brands at 30-70% off throughout the year, regardless of the seasonal sales.
Whether you are here for any purpose, do not miss the opportunity to see the majestic Duomo Cathedral, which is among the world's largest, enjoy a performance at the famous La Scala theater, and visit art galleries where masterpieces by Italian artists from different eras are showcased.
In restaurants, you should try the braised veal shank "ossobuco," risotto with chicken breast and saffron, Milanese-style veal cutlet, or the winter dish "cassoeula" (stewed pork with cabbage). Of course, the delicious Italian gelato, which is sold at every corner in Milan, is also worth attention.
