Itinerary:

Day 1: Milan
Meals: Dinner
Welcome to Milan, the second largest city in Italy and also its business, design, fashion and music capital. It is also rich in art, history and culture.
We begin our orientation tour of the city of Milan with the magnificent Duomo Square. Milan’s cathedral took almost 430 years to complete, from its inception in 1386 to the façade’s finishing touches in 1813 under the rule of Napoleon. In sheer figures it is impressive! The third largest church in the world, it has more than 3500 exterior statues and is supported by 52 massive columns inside. Dozens of stained-glass windows create splashes of coloured light in the otherwise gloomy interior. We will also see the Scala Museum and Theatre, proceeding to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele – which is a double arcade in the centre of Milan, Italy. The structure is formed by two glass-vaulted arcades intersecting in an octagon covering the street connecting Piazza del Duomo to Piazza della Scala. The Galleria is named after Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of united Italy. It was originally designed in 1861 and built by Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877. The Galleria connects two of Milans most famous landmarks, The Duomo and the Teatro Alla Scala, but the Galleria is a landmark on its own right.
