I spent an amazing day in Milan in the middle of December.
Follow my footsteps around Milan from the magnificent cathedral Saint Mary Nascent, known as the Duomo di Milano, to the Emmanuel Vittorio Galleries, the Sforzesco castle, to a final stroll along the Milanese canals and the Christmas markets and lit up major buildings.

One day in Milan is not enough to get to know the city well, but enough to understand you will have to go back!
