3 PERFECT DAYS
Day 1: The Highlights
Head to the Duomo for a stroll around the gargoyled parapets, then immerse yourself in one of Milan's block-
buster museums: modernists at Museo del Novecento, international exhibits at Palazzo Reale and Italian masters
at the Pinacoteca di Brera. Lunch at Peck Italian Bar and, in the afternoon, mix culture with pleasure at Castello
Sforzesco and Parco Sempione. Finish your day in front of Leonardo da Vinci's
Il Cenacolo
.
Day 2: Fashion & Design
Breakfast at Princi, then take a quick course in Milanese interior design in the Renaissance apartments of Gian
Giacomo Poldi-Pezzoli or the modernist villa of the Necchi-Campiglio sisters. Afterwards lunch with models in Il
Salumaio di Montenapoleone and spend the afternoon browsing the Quadrilatero d'Oro. In the evening jump on
the tram and head for buzzing Navigli for dinner canal-side.
Day 3: Science & Saints
Rise early to visit Milan's outstanding Science Museum, the mosaics in the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio and
Leonardo da Vinci's drawings in the Unesco World Heritage Site of Basilica di Sant Maria delle Grazie. Then
hotfoot it to Monza for lunch and an adrenalin-pumping drive around Monza's race track.
