Super-historic as well as super-modern. Get there early to get to the top of the cupola and allow p.l.e.n.t.y of time to go through security. The mirrors are a great touch, mad but interesting. Wonderful!

Not as showy as some, but I loved its elegant beauty. The inscriptions inside are truly lively in the calligraphic style, and the huge dome over the main section is an uncluttered work of art.

Magnificent, I love the mixing of styles of indian and english, the building is just so grand, what a place to live! The dome is a majestic centrepiece and I was shocked when a guide told me that there wasn't a single piece of steel in the whole construction. Don't miss out on the gardens!

I simply love it in here, the huge domed roof, the circular opening at the top letting in the light (or the rain if you're more unlucky) and the decor inside. The square outside is a popular hangout for tourists and locals alike and there is a great party atmosphere in the evenings.

Granted the Duomo is likely the most popular tourist attraction in Milan, but it’s definitely earned that distinction. Pure beauty. As you approach this cathedral, you can feel it in the air that you’re nearing something holy, massive and almost unreal. Once inside, it’s dark as ever and perfect for setting the ambience. Ladies, you’ll need to cover up your shoulders and legs…just an fyi. I would also recommend you pay the few Euro’s fee to get to the top of the roof. The scenic views of the city are breathtaking, and to gets so close to the spires is priceless. You gotta go!
