Cheap Flights to Milan (MXP) from UK Airports

Milan presents some of the most vibrant festivals in Italy.

While high fashion and superb shopping are common reasons to make Milan a destination choice, impressive castles and cathedrals are another. The Castello Sforzesco Fortress remains one of the city’s most impressive architectural attractions. Once inside visitors will be inspired by Leonardo de Vinci’s design along with works from Tiepolo, Bellini, Van Dyck, Mantegna, Correggio and Titian. The castle also contains the Pieta Rondanini sculpture by Michelangelo.

Another architectural wonder in Milan is the Duomo. Milan’s Duomo is the fourth largest in the world and promises to not disappoint with its many spires, buttresses and marble accessories. A climb to the rooftop offers some of the best views of Milan.

The city is also a popular destination for its many annual street festivals and world-renowned events. The most important event of the year is the Milan Film Festival. This exhibition shows some of the best innovative and contemporary short films from around the world. This festival also includes Festivalino for young people and the Milan Music Film Festival. To participate in this international event, guests will need to check out flights to Milan Malpensa Airport during the month of September.

On the 5th of December each year, the city begins its Festival of Sant’Ambrogio. This festival, dedicated to the patron Saint Ambrose, is a lively street festival that takes place in the heart of Milan. It includes several days of shopping for traditional handicrafts and indulging in local foods such as vin brule and roasted chestnuts.
