Luxury things to do in Milan
Join the marble spires and statues lining the Duomo rooftop for views that stretch as far as the Alps. At Pinacoteca di Brera ensure you reserve your coveted spot to gaze in awe at Leonardo’s Last Supper and take in the drama of Mantegna’s The Dead Christ. At La Scala opera house, an exclusive backstage tour of the set and costume department is a perfect prelude to a performance amidst the sumptuous red velvet and gold interior.
Luxury shopping in Milan
Follow Via Montenapoleone to the exclusive fashion boutiques of Milan’s Golden Quadrant. Luxuriate on a Louis XV chair under crystal-drop lighting while you select the perfect shoe to match your opera ensemble. A rococo candelabra from a Brera antique shop might add favourably to your own collection. The burnished mosaic floor of the glass-domed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele leads to exclusive boutiques like Gucci and Prada.
Gourmet Milan
Picnic under elm trees in Parco Sempione with a gourmet hamper of roast veal and local cheeses from exclusive food emporia. Luxury hotels in Milan serve saffron-gold risotto alla Milanese and butter-rich veal cutlets beneath painterly ceiling frescoes. Perch with a chilled martini at streamlined bars designed by fashion greats like Armani or Dolce e Gabbana. Verdi favoured the Art Nouveau bar in the Galleria’s vaulted arcades. Choose from its tempting trays of tiramisu pastries.
