Milan

Milan rewards a split between the historic centre (Duomo, Brera, fashion quadrilatero) and the northern industrial-to-gallery belt around Bicocca and Porta Garibaldi. Metro lines M1–M5 plus short bus hops cover most museum days; leave buffer for HangarBicocca’s Thursday–Sunday hours if contemporary art is the brief. Book Design Week and Salone hotels months ahead; outside fair weeks, weekday mornings keep major rooms calmer.
