The
dynamo behind the country's "economic miracle",
MILAN is a city like no other in Italy.
It's foggy in winter, muggy in summer, and
is closer in outlook, as well as distance,
to London than to Palermo. This is no city
of peeling palazzi, cobbled piazzas and
la dolce vita.

This
is a city in which time is money, the pace fast,
and where consumerism and the work-ethic rule the
lives of its power-dressed citizens. Because of
this most people pass straight through, and if it's
summer and you're keen for sun and sea this might
well be the best thing you can do; the weather,
in August especially, can be off-puttingly humid.
But at any other time
of year it's well worth giving Milan more of a chance.
It's a historic city, with enough churches and museums
to keep you busy for a week - the Accademia Brera,
Duomo and the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie
- but there are also parks and cafés to relax in,
and the contemporary aspects of the place represent
the leading edge of Italy's fashion and design industry
Historic Milan lies at the centre of a web of streets,
within the inner Cerchia dei Navigli, which follows
the route of the medieval city walls. Piazza del
Duomo is the city center's main orientation point:
most of the city's major sights lie within this
area, as well as the swankiest designer shops and
most elegant cafés. Visits
to art galleries and museums, the Duomo and other
churches can be punctuated with designer window-shopping
in the so-called Quadrilatero d'Oro, or sipping
overpriced drinks among the designer-dressed clientele
of the pavement cafés of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
or around the Pinacoteca di Brera art gallery.

The
second cerchia, the Viali, skirts behind the
centre's two large parks to the canal sides
of the Navigli in the south, following the
tracks of defensive walls built during the
Spanish occupation. Within
lie the Castello Sforzesco and the church
of Santa Maria delle Grazie , which houses
Milan's most famous painting, Leonardo's The
Last Supper. What follows is a wedge-by-wedge
account of the city: Milan is not an easily
wanderable city, so make a judicious selection,
walking a little but where necessary hopping
between places by way of the metro or other
public transport. With a well thought of planning
you'll be able to see the best of what this
astonishing city has to offer.
