Milan travel guide

Few things will be handed to you on a plate in Milan – except, perhaps, a generous portion of rich and creamy risotto con ossobuco. The Lombard capital has an enviable wealth of restaurants, shops and galleries but the best are often hard to find. This is a city that rewards those who take the time to tap on a closed door and look beyond an unassuming stone façade.

Naturally, as a mecca for fashion fans and design aficionados, Milan can also be a fast-paced and dizzying affair. That’s where Monocle comes in. The guide will steer you towards the top bars for a negroni and reveal its favorite spots in which to savor both innovative fare and authentic cucina Milanese. The creators of the guide sifted through the city’s labyrinthine retail offering for the tailors making the sharpest suits and the homeware shops packed with rare finds. Plus the hotels that it longs to hunker down in, from polished renaissance palazzos to cosy family-run boutiques.
