Synopsis

Like a catwalk model, Milan struts confidently on the world stage. And why not? It is Italy's most dynamic city, a center of high fashion, fast finance and fabulous food where visitors can marvel at the aerodynamic engineering of the Fuksas 'glass sails' and then raid the racks of the Quadrilatero d'Oro. To land on your designer-clad feet be sure to pack Best of Milan.

Nip & Tuck - Milan's cityscape is being reinvented by a stellar list of architects. Learn about the latest Libeskind or Zaha Hadid project with our detailed architectural coverage.

Past & Present - Written by an acclaimed art and culture critic, discover Milan's cultural highs - from da Vinci's Last Supper to Daniel Barenbolm's first season at La Scala.

In The Know - As the tumbleweed blows across the floor of those inner-city bars, take our hot tips and head out of the centre for fantastic fusion food and dance 'til dawn clubs.

It’s All About The Shopping - Push the envelope of your personal style with some modish Milanese shopping. Retail therapy really doesn't get much better than this.
