Milano

Most of our trips involve arrival and/or departure through Milan's Malpensa Airport.  Whether coming or going, we use the Malpensa Bus Express to travel between the airport and the Stazione Centrale.  The bus is very convenient, runs frequently, and is quite economical.

Milan's duomo is magnificent by day or night.  

It is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world.  The Milan Duomo was constructed over 500 years.  It has over 135 spires and 2,245 statues on its roof. There are several architectural styles in the facade of the building including Gothic, Renaissance, and Neo-Classical.

The interior of the duomo is as awe-inspiring as its exterior.
