What to do in Milan in three hours

What can you do in Milan in three hours? I would say anything, because Milan is a big city, with many different tourist attractions, much of the city's business and shopping that we imagine. But so that we may not have time to switch the Expo, and we might have only three hours before returning home by plane or train. In this case it might come in handy advice that Krisanne posted on Condé Nast. No matter if it is the first or the fifteenth time you visit the Duomo di Milano; the cathedral will never fail to amaze. This magnificent Gothic cathedral is the most famous landmark of the city, with its more than 3,500 statues, about two-thirds of which are lined up on the roof. So it is almost a must climb the 150 steps leading to the roof, where you can enjoy a closer view of the famous 'Madonna' and a spectacular view of the city. The walk from the Duomo to Piazza della Scala, lasted just five minutes, but only if you walk slowly. The walk through the great Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the oldest commercial emporiums of the world, where there is also the Town House, the only 7-star hotel in Italy. Short stop to crush the balls of Taurus, and it continues to get on one of the most beautiful squares in Milan: Piazza Della Scala. To the north, the iconic La Scala and at noon, Palazzo Marino, the town hall of Milan. You can spend the rest of the time exploring one of the two buildings, better yet, sit and admire the monument of Leonardo in the center of the square. And in the tourist center of the city, if you know where to look, you can also find a handful of great restaurants. A few steps from the Cathedral, there is the Michelin star Restaurant Cracco: one of the best in the city and a must for foodies. Conducted by Alain Ducasse, the dishes are delicate and beautiful to see, in a fusion of classic Milanese and trendy ingredients. Here the advice is to skip the menu-tasting and ordered the risotto with saffron (alternatively the risotto with squid ink) and the famous Milanese veal. Excellent desserts are seasonal, but anything with chocolate is a safe bet.
