I haven't uploaded any photos since last year as I've been really busy lately. Now that I'm on maternity leave. Yes maternity leave, i can now share the albums that I've been meaning to share about our trip last year in Europe. Here are my postcards from Milan and the Top 10 that we did that you should do as well. Enjoy!
1. Visit the Duomo and climb to the top: amazing views and breathtaking architecture
At the Piazza del Duomo entrance to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is Milan's most celebrated bar. Known until recently as Zucca, it's been there since the Galleria opened in 1867; former regulars included Verdi and Toscanini. Its interior, listed as a historic monument drips with belle époque detail: the mosaics, the wrought-iron chandeliers and the carved bar itself.
3. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
The soaring arcade of stone, glass and wrought iron that links piazza del Duomo with La Scala. Famous for high end luxury shopping. Again the architecture is beautiful.
The Duomo's only rival as a symbol of Milan is the tram: it may be slow but there is no cosier way to negotiate the city's streets. Milan has 17 remaining tramlines, including the splendid, unmodernised lines 1 and 5, whose single, antiquated-looking cars trundle through the city centre.
10 Corso Como is an oasis of high style, combining an art gallery, a superb design bookshop, an idiosyncratic fashion boutique and a charming courtyard café.
Founded in 2007, Italy's first permanent design museum is located in the building that hosts the city's design show every three years. Its rotating programme of exhibitions includes art and photography as well as product, furniture and graphic design from around the world.
The city's former hub of power is one kilometre north-west of the Duomo. Built in the 14th century by the Visconti family, the castle was converted into a cultural treasure-house around 1900.
Need I say more? grab souvenir from one of many stores stocking the latest from the design house. Love it here.
9. Ribot
Via Marco Cremosano 41 (00 39 02 3300 1646; http://ribotmilano.it)
Favourite place to eat in Milan is a pure meat - no fish - restaurant called Ribot. It has been there for more than 30 years and is always consistent; a place where you can go in the winter, in the summer, with family or friends.
10.Rooftop Bars opposite the Duomo
There is so many to choose from all you have to do is look up and make your way up. Serving delicious cocktails with free tapas while you enjoy chill out music and the view. enough said.
