sace, Prada, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana. Nowhere
else in the world can you combine a city break with
an extended shopping trip as perfectly as you can in

transformed and in a few years‘ time Milan‘s skyline

The dynamic dolce vita of Milan even extends to fine

that have been exported all over Europe, and its ris-
toranti compete to offer both locals and tourists the
very latest culinary innovations.
