15 days in Milan, Sanremo & Rome Itinerary

In many ways the most modern of Italian cities, Milan is a busy, elegant metropolis with an impressive list of grand palaces, fine churches, and important museums.

There's still lots to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Duomo di Milano, admire the landmark architecture of Galleria 92 - Casa Storica del 1867, steep yourself in history at Il Cenacolo, and admire the masterpieces at Pinacoteca di Brera.
