Here are a few you can\u2019t miss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Milan Cathedral (<em>Duomo di Milano<\/em>):<\/strong> A Gothic masterpiece, the cathedral is a symbol of Milan and took nearly 500 years to complete. The intricate architecture alone is a reason to visit Milan. You can take in the masterpiece from the outside, but it is well worth a peek inside, and a trip to the roof to see the statues up close and personal. ( This beautiful cathedral, as well as many of the stops on our list, can be seen on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/self-guided-tour-of-milan\">Self-Guided Tour of Milan: One-Day Itinerary<\/a>.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>La Scala:<\/strong> This historic opera house is renowned worldwide for its performances and stunning architecture. It is also regarded as one of the leading opera and ballet theatres globally. Some travelers come to enjoy an opera, others come to have a look and soak up its historical significance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sforza Castle:<\/strong> Built in the 1500s, this castle was once a powerful fortress in Europe and residence of Milan\u2019s leading families. Surrounded by Parco Sempione, today visitors can wander the renovated halls to enjoy a collection of Milan\u2019s civic museum collections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Santa Maria delle Grazie:<\/strong> A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this church houses Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s famous mural, &#8220;The Last Supper\u201d, an iconic piece that alone makes Milan worth visiting! It is a cultural gem that attracts art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Navigli Canals: <\/strong>While not necessarily a monument, these canals are integral to Milan\u2019s story. Originally designed by Leonardo da Vinci, these canals connected Milan to rivers for commercial transportation. Today, visitors can stroll along the waterways, and enjoy the district\u2019s romantic charm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/milan-castle2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The courtyard of Sforza Castle in Milan features arched windows, grassy lawns, stone benches, and a prominent round tower.\" class=\"wp-image-21678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/milan-castle2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/milan-castle2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/milan-castle2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/milan-castle2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Sforzesco Castle  in Milan houses one of da Vinci&#8217;s most famous painted murals. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Modern_Italian_Edge\"><\/span>The Modern Italian Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If history isn\u2019t your thing, then Milan is worth visiting for sure!

Of course, each traveler has their own style, and their own destination in their heart, Milan may not be for everyone. But don\u2019t write it off too quickly. While many regions and cities hold strong to the past and tradition, Milan has broken the mold. Milan loves to embrace cultures, cuisines, and traditions from all over the world &#8211; all while remaining uniquely Italian at heart. It is an artful blend that only this city can pull off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ%C2%B4s_%E2%80%93_Why_Milan_Is_Worth_Visiting\"><\/span>FAQ\u00b4s &#8211; Why Milan Is Worth Visiting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_days_do_I_need_to_visit_Milan\"><\/span>How many days do I need to visit Milan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most travellers find 2\u20133 days is the perfect amount of time to experience Milan. This gives you enough time to visit major landmarks like the Duomo, \u201cThe Last Supper,\u201d and Sforza Castle, explore the fashion and design districts, and enjoy an aperitivo along the Navigli canals. If you plan to take day trips to Lake Como, Bergamo, or Verona, consider adding an extra day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Milan_a_good_base_for_exploring_Northern_Italy\"><\/span>Is Milan a good base for exploring Northern Italy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. Milan is one of the best-connected cities in Italy, with high-speed trains, regional trains, and major highways. Lake Como, Turin, Verona, Bologna, and even Switzerland are all easy day trips. If you want to see both a big city and surrounding natural beauty, Milan is an ideal home base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Milan_expensive_to_visit\"><\/span>Is Milan expensive to visit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Milan can be more expensive than other Italian cities, especially for accommodation and dining in popular areas. However, it\u2019s completely possible to explore Milan on a budget. Many top sights, such as the Duomo rooftop, certain museums, and Navigli, offer affordable entry, and the city has excellent public transport. With a little planning, travellers in any price range can enjoy Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-Last-Supper-Milan-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Jesus sits at the center of a long table with twelve disciples in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan.\" class=\"wp-image-21684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-Last-Supper-Milan-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-Last-Supper-Milan-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-Last-Supper-Milan-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/The-Last-Supper-Milan.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Milan offers the unique chance to see Da Vinci&#8217;s The Last Supper, and our tour offers skip-the-line-tickets.
