Milan is internationally recognized as one of the world’s most important fashion capitals, but it also has a wealth of interesting museums and things to see and do. Milan offers all the advantages of a large city, but it's relatively small, thus making it perfect to visit, as tourists can get to most of the city’s attractions and museums on foot. Some of the city’s most beautiful attractions include the Duomo di Milano, an impressive Opera House, a striking castle, ancient churches, and a great variety of museums and art galleries. For those who also want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, you can hire a car or take the train to one of the prettiest landscapes of northern Italy, theItalian lakes. Its green hills and crystal-clear lakes make it a perfect summer destination.
