Milan is astonishing town full of not only history. The real spirit of Northern Italy is breathing upon your soul while strolling across the Piazza Duomo, where late Gothic cathedral majestically reaches the skies. This magnificent building has witnessed six centuries of history and is deservedly a symbol of the city. The Historical Center incorporates the fashion district, Castello Sforzesco, the glorious Piazza della Scala, and other areas of historical interest. On the upside, there is always a lot to do; there are many excellent restaurants and bars within walking distance. North of the centre are some well-known streets, which are popular with residents, businessmen and visitors. Corso Venezia and its intersecting roads are lined with noblemen's palaces; in some cases these are still used as residences, in others, they have been converted into luxury offices. The gardens of Porta Venezia make up a small, enclosed park, which is one of the most beautiful in Milan. Southwest of Milan stands the Ticinese - Navigli area, this quarter is a mixture of old and new. Many of the original residents (or their descendants) still live in Ticinese and there are many case di ringhiera - apartments with wrought-iron balconies that face inwards. This area is full of bars and shops selling clothes. Citta Studi (Study city) is located in the east of Milan and as the name suggests, is the University district, home to the Polytechnic and several chemistry, biology and pharmaceuticals departments. Many of the buildings here were constructed in the '20s, '30s and '40s and the overall feel is that of a charming residential area with trees on every street. Haven't decided where to spend you next vacations? Come to see Milan, the genuine city where once you get tired of walking, you can spend the rest of the day shopping for clothes, beauty, and cosmetics.
