The city is renowned for its fashion houses and shops and has a rich cultural and architectural heritage. Of course, Milan has a vibrant nightlife.

From there the nights stretch into the small hours with a bewildering range of dance and music.
Milan is not far from Lake Como, Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda, the Alps, the Ligurian Sea (90 minutes away) and Venice (a 2 ½ hour train journey).
