Milan is the Italy's economic engine room, home to Italy's stock market and business centers. This sophisticated & stylish city is also the world's design capital and rivals Paris as a leading fashion center. Shopping here is of almost a religious significance, while food is another one of Milan's joys. Most of Milan's attractions are concentrated in the city center, between the duomo (cathedral)and the Castello Sforzesco. With the city's efficient underground railway, [Metropolitana Milanesa (MM)] visitors are able to explore this fascinating renaissance city easily & at their own pace :) |
