Milan is more than just the cathedral, check out these classic must-see spots!

🌟Highlights: Milan is the hometown of many geniuses and the cradle of art, with a wealth of precious cultural and artistic heritage and historical sites. In addition to the Milan Cathedral, the highest masterpiece of Gothic architecture, there is the Brera Art Gallery, which houses paintings from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, and Leonardo da Vinci's most impressive painting, The Last Supper. At the same time, Milan is a gathering place for fashionistas from all over the world, and you can see all kinds of styles on the streets. Why not bring two or three pieces of exaggerated jewelry and clothing, and take some photos of the collision between classical and modern in museums, art galleries, and even on the streets of Milan. 👍Top recommendation: Santa Maria delle Grazie ❤Recommended reason: Also known as the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The dinner shared by Jesus and his 12 disciples is probably the most famous dinner in the world - this mural, The Last Supper, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, abandoned the popular fresco technique of the time and used his own oil and egg tempera as paint, painting it lightly on the wall of the refectory of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. During World War II, the church was bombed by British and American planes, but the wall with The Last Supper survived intact and was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1980. 💰Tickets: €15 for adults, €2 for discount tickets for ages 18–25, free for EU residents under 18, students, disabled people, etc.; free on the first Sunday of each month (reservation required) 🕙Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 08:15–19:00; closed on Mondays, December 25, and January 1 📝Tips: There are many strict rules for visiting this great painting, and tickets are often sold out during peak season (May–September). Tickets are usually released 3 months in advance, so be sure to book in advance, and the visit time is only 15 minutes. ✅Must-try experience: Castello Sforzesco ❤Recommended reason: The castle was the residence of the Sforza family, who once ruled Milan, and many rooms have exquisite interior decorations. The Sforza Castle was destroyed during World War II and later rebuilt as a museum. The museum is large and has a wide variety of collections, the most famous of which are Leonardo da Vinci's ceiling painting "Sala Delle Asse" and Michelangelo's unfinished work "Rondanini Pietà." 💰Tickets: Free 🕙Opening hours: 07:00–19:30 📝Tips: In addition to the above, there are many other special experiences, such as watching a fashion show. Milan Fashion Week is probably one of the reasons why the city has become a fashion capital, with countless shows held here every year. Currently, all brand events are invitation-only, and ordinary people cannot enter, but this does not prevent you from meeting your favorite celebrities and fashion bloggers. If you meet them on the street, why not go up and take a photo with them?
