Milan is best known for finance, fashion and football, but there’s so much more to this city than designer threads, suited stock-brokers and Serie A. Beneath what often seems like a soulless, industrial exterior the heart of this city beats to a rhythm that is purely Italian. The only place in Italy where you’ll find roman ruins mingling among towering skyscrapers, Milan offers visitors a magical mix of history and modernity. Home to some of the worlds most fascinating contemporary art exhibitions, top-notch restaurants, an enviable shopping scene and nightlife that rivals London and Berlin, Milan has something to offer everyone.

The team here at Milan In Your Pocket love this crazy town. We’ve cobbled together some of the best things to do and see in the city this season, and hope you enjoy your visit as much as we love living here.
