Milan Guide

Hotels:	A trip to such as stylish city deserves a stylish hotel. Try the Hotel Principe Di Savoia, located by the Repubblica underground station, or the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel Milano. The Gran Duca di York, although less sumptuous than the Four Seasons, offers a very central location in a 19th century palace.

Art lovers may be interested by the Museum of Historic Art, situated in the 15th century Sforzesco Castle, while the Leonardo da Vinci National Science & Technology Museum displays some of the ground-breaking designs from the iconic genius. The Last Supper is also on display in the city, but be prepared for long queues at the Piazza Santa Maria.
Shopping:	It's all about clothes in Milano, with every high-fashion label known to shopper forming part of the incredibly stylish landscape. Head to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele for the classic names, such as the original Prada boutique, or other streets in the Fashion District, such as the Via Monte Napoleone, Via della Spiga and Via Sant'Andrea. These are also great places to grab a cappuccino and watch the beautiful people go by.
Excursions:	Milan is surrounded by some magnificent lakes, such as Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and Lake Garda - all of which can offer a fresh-aired trip for those feeling over-shopped. Other sites in the Lombardy region, of which Milan is the capital, include the complex of rock drawings located at Val Camonica dating from 8000 BC.
Family:	The Europark Idroscalo Milano, complete with scary banana mascot, should keep younger visitors occupied once they're bored of history and Gucci, which features the interactive ride the Flying Fury. The Idropark Fila on the Via Circonvallazione Idroscalo is packed full of slides and aqua-adventures for all the family. Meanwhile, closer to town are the beautiful public gardens - perfect for picnics and games on a summer's day.
