This place is a raw seafood paradise! Top quality fish, impeccable service, nice and friendly environment, elegant and clean. As soon you get a seat you feel the colonial and havana style. The food is prepared as the good italian tradition with a bit of creativity which make it more contemporaneous.

Small restaurant with a special atmosphere. Informal and nice. Focus is on meat dishes from tartare to Fiorentina. Meat is very good and traditional dishes are side by side with some touchs of creativity. Staff is very welcoming and kind. Definitely a place to go.

This place is a must. It is near fondazione Prada, so perfect stop off after seeing an exhibition on the way back to centro. If you enter you find yourself in a production area of the 19th century. Simple and honest Italian cuisine. Beautiful peace of grilled meat. Desserts are extraordinary.

The MUDEC is an extraordinary place in Milan. It was an industrial area. Now it is a wonderful building and the exhibitions program is always outstanding. Very convenient to reach it by public transport. There is also a huge parking area. If you are in Milan always check the Mudec program.

What makes the Basilica di Sant'Eustorgio an important church in Milan is the fact that each new bishop of Milan has to begin his procession at this place going to the Milan cathedral Duomo. Another important fact is, it has been a favorite place for stop of Pilgrims in Europe because it originally housed the remains of the Three Magi.

This is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, church in Milan. The basilica itself is a wonderful building but not overly ornate. The real gem is a chapel to the side called the Chapel of Saint Aquilino which dates to the 4th century. Inside are mosaics dating from the 4th century which have survived and are quite exquisite.It's piazza is fronted by Roman columns whilst it's interior, although largely unadorned does have a complete version of The Last Supper I. e. Without a doorway being put through Christ's feet as at S.Marie dell a Grazie!) albeit painted by a pupil of daVinci.

A perfect example of a Gothic cathedral. The vaulted ceilings and elaborate stained glass windows are very impressive. On a sunny day, the rays of light create a very dramatic effect.This basilica is simply magnificent! The way it opens up when you first arrive at the square is stunning and breath taking. I would recommend that you purchase tickets online from the official website to avoid standing in the queue

The Sforza family basically ran the city during the Renaissance and their castle is one of the most interesting museums in Milan. The ducal residence, a colossal square-plan redbrick fortress with great towers in each corner and a moat, was commissioned by Francesco Sforza in the 1450s on the foundations of the 14th-century Visconti Castle (Milan’s previous power family). In the medieval castle’s great halls, beneath beautiful frescoed ceilings and delicate stained-glass windows, are collections of art and artefacts from Lombardian, Roman, Egyptian, ancient and prehistoric times; most notable is Michelangelo’s unfinished sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà.

This is a fun place between the center of Milan and the Navigli district. Full of locals and almost no tourists. At the bar they have an excellent aperitivo selection with your drink, and the cocktail list is innovative (and some classics too). Great menu for food, also here you will find a few innovative selections, the Risotto al salto as starter is highly recommended - fried Risotto Milanese, and Burgers are very good too.

Al Coccio is cool, unashamedly so. It's in the fashionable Navigli area of Milan so you're going to get your share of hipsters. There is a varied range of beer served from across the globe (probably the only place abroad that I've seen which serves Punk IPA) that comes to your table in terracotta tankards. The place is even better in the summer time, when you can also sit outside by the Naviglio pavese (indoor is very cute but quite tight). The area around is good fun in the heart of Milan. Not too expensive.
