A lot of people choose not to visit Milan because A lot of people choose not to visit Milan because there’s “not much to see”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth 😉

This was our second trip to the city, and during our one day in Milan we were able to see key attractions such as ⬇️

The Duomo 
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio
Castello Sforzesco

We stopped at @spun_tiramisu for tiramisu, ate pizza at @spontini_pizza , and had freshly made pasta from @miscusi.family 🍝

And don’t forget, Milan is also home to one of the most unique spas in Italy - QC Termemilano 🧖🏼‍♀️

If you’re planning to walk around Milan, make sure you have good footwear. Since we visited Milan in the winter, we chose our stylish Gortex boots from @pomarshoes to keep us warm 🥾
