Attractions in Milan

The best way to understand how Milan is laid out is to take a ride on one of the trains. Route 1 runs from the main train station, via Piazza Cairoli to Castello Sforzesco and is probably the best choice. But many other routes also offer good views of the city.

Il Duomo
The Cathedral is the symbol of Milan. Building began in 1386 and was not completed until 500 years later. It is a late Gothic masterpiece, made more interesting by the fact that this style is not seen elsewhere in Italy.

Cenacolo Vinciano
This is the home of one of the world's most famous artworks, Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. It's rarely possible to simply walk in and take a look. A good way to avoid the long queues is to book a time in advance.
Address: Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie 2, the painting is in the church with the same name.
