Milan hides its greatest assets, they sit behind walls, through courtyards, up a flight of stairs - and this guide will take you to them. Away from the towering Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with its rollcall of glamorous global brands are backstreet trattorias, a botanical garden and specialist shops of all stripes. Walk a little further for a Futurist cocktail bar, second-hand bookshops, house museums and extraordinary private art collections. Our guide takes in all this, leading you from Fondazione Prada to a humble osteria in just a few paces. It's a survey of Milan's glamour and its grit in 39 handpicked selections.Deisgned by Freedom Art Inc.
About the author
Most guides try to tell you everything there is to know about a city, we just tell you how to enjoy it. It is our aim to show the reader what makes a place distinctive, to shed light on obscure locations as well as revisiting well-known ones with a fresh perspective. We research each city the old-fashioned way: asking friends, acquaintances, cab drivers and concierges for their tips and then walking, tasting, sipping, and peering into doorways and down alleys. We turn that research into a compact guide with enough suggestions to keep you entertained, with a list of shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, galleries, museums and parks, each one carefully described.
