Milan, Italy travel resource.

Milan,Italy.

Milan is not just a relic from the past. Milan's elegant porticoes and ornate medieval friezes contrast with the modern city's sharp lines and angles. Enchanting, subtle Milan is the perfect mix of history, elegant style and urban vibrancy.Milan is the most prosperous and populous city on Italy's map, but it doesn't draw the tourists that tend to clog Rome, Florence and Venice.
Milan boasts an abundance of famous sites and breathtaking architecture, and Milan's museums and galleries are filled with amazing treasures. Alfresco Milan is a wonder, too, beckoning with its lush green parks and colorful gardens. A world capital of fashion, Milan is chockablock with trendy, hipster-haunted boutiques and of-the-moment restaurants filled with smartly attired locals, right in the heart of its ancient past.
Because Milan is a business and convention hub, hotels and resorts in the area tend to be expensive. Milan hotels and resorts also inflate their rates during conventions, so book your hotel early.
Milan is served by two main airports. Most international flights land at Malpensa Airport (MXP), which is approximately 30 mi/50 km northwest of Milan. Malpensa Airport is about an hour by car or train from Milan.
