Milan
The Duomo, the Sforzesco Castle, the splendid gates, the navigli, the streets in the centre, Brera and the theatres: Milan, the great city of Milan, in addition to its frenetic and metropolitan aspect, offers a wide range of beautiful things, including art, architecture and cultural events without equal! Just outside the city, gastronomic itineraries and country scenes open the window on a life that still respects and preserves the traditional farming traditions.
Even the lovers of city life in all its forms, from shopping to night life, can go off the main roads to the towns south of Milan, to find tranquil places where you can hear the sound of pigeons or discover the lives of those who grow vegetables or make wine at home.
The best way to enjoy these authentic paths to the past is on a bicycle. With the wind in your hair, to the rhythm of a trip by bike, the province of Milan will show you its enjoyable and fascinating aspects.
There are many possible routes, beginning with sacred places such as the interesting abbeys of Viboldone, Morimondo and Chiaravalle.
But the symbol of this area is the Duomo di Milano , or cathedral, in Milan with its famous Madonna on the highest spire.
What an experience it is to admire from the upper terrace of the cathedral, with its tangle of gothic spires and what a contrast there is when you enter, with the noise of the square behind you, the magic atmosphere that took 450 years to build. It is an encounter with history, architecture and beauty that must be part of the tourist's visit to Lombardy!
