Milan travel guide 1.A 2020

Milan is famous for one of the best opera houses in the world, top museums, the highest density of designer shops in the noble Quadrilatero della Moda and for its football clubs. But the city offers more. Much more! In recent years, star architects have given it a new skyline of glass and steel towers, new green spaces are sprouting up between them, cycle paths are being created, old factories are being transformed into art and culture venues. Travel journalist and writer Beate Giacovelli has lived at the gates of the city since 2003 and accompanies readers on seven walks to tourist magnets, but also to the Milan of the Milanesi: she goes to the artists' district of Brera, to the roof of the mighty, with turrets decorated cathedral or by boat through the Navigli district on Milan's oldest canal.
