Welcome To Milan
MILAN, ITALY

After along travel day, leaving by plane from Greece, we made it to Milan!  We are excited our new journey through ITLAY! We cannot wait to eat some delicious Italian pastas & creamy homemade gelato!

We loved Milan - enjoy the pictures above!

The Duomo Of Milan:

The Duomo of Milan is an amazing sight. Stretching up high above the piazza del Duomo, it's the third largest church in Christendom. A staggering 3,500 statues and 135 spires adorn the marble structure, which has a Baroque and neo-Gothic façade, as well as five bronze doors carved by different artists. It's no wonder that it took 500 years to complete and building work continues today!

The Rectangle Of Gold:

Milan is a haute couture powerhouse, where fashions jump from catwalk to clothes rail in weeks. But unlike the sprawling district in Paris, Milan's boutiques fit into one square, bordered by via della Spiga, via Manzoni, via Sant'Andrea and via Montenapoleone: the Quadrilatero d'Oro (Rectangle of Gold). Designer named stores include Armani, Chanel, Missoni, Prada and Versace. Even if the price tags are out of your budget (ours!), you can spend many a happy hour admiring the window displays. 
Savor The Flavors Of Milan Cuisine:
Milanese restaurants serve the most varied of all Italy's regional cuisines. Here you'll find creamy pasta, dairy and meat products, alongside international foods such as maki and curry. My creamy lasagna was to die for & the gelato was the cherry topping to our night!

With Love From Milan,
Nicole & Anthony
