Day 1: Window shopping & aperitivo in Brera

Upon arriving in Milan, settle into your elegant hotel and prepare for a fashionable immersion into the city’s heart. Start your afternoon with a stroll through the iconic Quadrilatero della Moda, appreciating the window displays of the world’s most prestigious designers and soaking in the atmosphere of pure style. As the evening approaches, experience the quintessential Milanese tradition of aperitivo in the sophisticated Brera district, followed by an unforgettable fine-dining experience at a curated restaurant to kick off your culinary journey.
Day 2: Duomo & Leonardo da Vinci experience
Duomo di Milano
Start your day at the iconic Duomo, exploring its magnificent rooftop for a truly breathtaking view of the city. Afterwards, a visit to the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a must for its stunning architecture and prestigious boutiques. In the afternoon, a private tour of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, "The Last Supper," offers a profound cultural moment. My insider tip is to book tickets for this experience months in advance to ensure entry. Conclude your day with a memorable dinner in the vibrant Navigli district, known for its charming canals and lively atmosphere.
Day 3: Fondazione Prada & artisan shopping
The courtyard of the Pinacoteca di Brera
Spend your final day in Milan with a balance of modern art and exclusive design. Start your morning by visiting Fondazione Prada, a stunning architectural complex that hosts contemporary art exhibitions. Afterward, immerse yourself in the city’s rich history by exploring the Brera district’s charming alleys and art galleries. My insider tip is to seek out a hidden courtyard for a final espresso. Conclude your trip with a last-minute shopping excursion to a bespoke artisan shop for a unique souvenir before your private transfer to the airport.
Need to know
The best times to experience Milan are during the spring and fall, when the city comes alive with fashion and design events and the weather is ideal for exploring. While the city’s public transport is efficient, a private car service is recommended for seamless travel between exclusive boutiques and fine-dining restaurants. My final advice is to always book reservations for top restaurants and iconic tours, like “The Last Supper,” well in advance to avoid disappointment.
