While in Milan, besides the famous Duomo, you have to see some hidden gems. I will give you some inspiration: - Sforzesco Castle: medieval fortification, built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, on the remnants of a 14th-century fortification. - Arco della Pace also known as Porta Sempione - Leonardo da Vinci’s Vineyard - Small Streets - Enter in every church you see, they have a stunning architecture!#passionpassport #milan #gooutside

#summervacay I'm constantly falling in love with summer in Italy! Milan has been absolutely bathed in golden sunlight lately, making it perfect for getting out and taking some stunning photos. That sunshine really is the best filter! Here's my favorite photo-worthy route: I start my journey at Parco Sempione (Sempione Park). As I walk through the lush greenery, I can gaze at the magnificent Sforza Castle in the distance. My path then leads me to the majestic Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace), where I always soak in Milan's romantic ambiance. To get a breathtaking perspective of the entire city, I highly recommend heading up to the top of the Torre Branca tower. A Few Tips: Sempione Park & Arch of Peace: Both are free to enter, so you can enjoy them at your leisure. Torre Branca: The elevator ride up the tower costs €6 per person. Be aware that your time at the top is limited to about 5-6 minutes – it's a super-speedy viewing experience! (Check photo 16 for opening hours.) My Summer Skin Savior: With all the intense walking under the hot sun, my skin has stayed remarkably good thanks to a French pharmacy brand called Jonzac. It focuses on thermal water skincare, and its thermal water + Vitamin C formula is perfect for sensitive skin. After a full day in the sun, my skin hasn't peeled or dulled; in fact, when I take photos, it even looks brighter than usual! #Milan #Italy #SummerInItaly #MilanTravel #PhotoSpots #ParcoSempione #ArcoDellaPace #TorreBranca #SforzaCastle #Skincare #Jonzac #TravelTips #EuropeanSummer

Let's go! Milan's most photogenic park 🍁|||We walked from Milan's 📍Arco della Pace (Piazza Sempione, 20154 Milano MI) to 📍Sforzesco Castle (Piazza Castello, 20121 Milano MI) and then slowly walked to the Duomo to take some photos. It felt like a relaxing and stress-relieving place in the city center! The photos turned out great! You can see cute dogs and talented street performers here! There are also small lakes and chubby squirrels 🐿️ There are also occasional markets in the park! For example, there was a colorful Christmas market recently 🎄 where you could buy lots of handmade products that felt healthy and safe.

Milan, the fashion capital and design city. With great anticipation, I embarked on a 3-day, 2-night dream trip. As soon as I got off the plane, I was greeted by the modern atmosphere of Milan, instantly igniting my passion for exploration. 🔥 On the first day, I headed straight to Via Montenapoleone, the "center of the universe" for fashion. The shop windows on both sides of the street are like art showcases 🖼️, with the latest seasonal clothes and bags displayed in an orderly manner, dazzling under the lights. As I strolled along, I saw fashionistas coming and going, each with their own unique style, from cool street style to elegant socialite style, inspiring me with endless ideas. When I got tired of shopping, I found an outdoor café on the street ☕, ordered a piece of tiramisu, and let the sweet and creamy taste melt on my tongue. I took a sip of rich coffee, feeling extremely relaxed, while immersing myself in the fashion feast of people coming and going. On the second day, I headed to Sforza Castle. The thick walls and towering towers silently tell the glory of the past, with traces of time in the gaps between the bricks and stones. Inside the castle, the trees are lush 🌳, and the lawns are neatly trimmed. Locals picnic, walk their dogs, and sunbathe here, creating a leisurely atmosphere. Passing through the castle, I arrived at the Arch of Peace, with its tall arch and exquisite sculptures, exuding a majestic aura. Standing under the arch, I felt as if I had traveled back to the glorious era of Milan, filled with pride. In the afternoon, I plunged into the Brera Art Gallery. The gallery is filled with paintings, from classical to modern, with diverse styles. Standing in front of the masterpieces by famous painters, every detail of the brushstrokes, colors, and composition is worth savoring, and the artistic impact is overwhelming, deeply touching my soul. On the last day, I had to check in at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The glass dome is grand and atmospheric, with sunlight shining through and the mosaic patterns on the ground sparkling ✨. The shopping stores are lined up, with unique treasures hidden in niche designer brands. The joy of finding a favorite item is indescribable. Street performers in the gallery showcase their talents, with melodious violin music and cool street dance attracting passersby to stop and applaud 👏. Near the evening, I arrived at the canal, where the bars and restaurants along the shore were bustling. I ordered an authentic Milanese risotto, with rich milk fragrance enveloping the soft rice, instantly capturing my taste buds. Dining with the shimmering canal view was the perfect ending to this healing journey. During these 3 days and 2 nights in Milan, fashion and art intertwined, vitality and relaxation blended. On the way back, I was filled with reluctance, only hoping to meet again and continue the wonderful story.

| A dreamy intertwining of fashion and history. Dear friends 👫, there are great discounts on air tickets from Germany to Milan. I sincerely recommend you to seize this opportunity and experience the charm of this fashionable capital in person. 😉 1️⃣When you come to Milan, you must not miss the Milan Cathedral. We can go directly to the Alipay channel and the queue time will be greatly shortened. When you see this majestic building with your own eyes, the feeling of shock cannot be described in words. I racked my brain and I can't think of more suitable words to describe its majestic beauty. 😍 2️⃣Next, you can go to Brera Gallery for a stroll. If you happen to go on the first Sunday of every month, you can visit for free, but be sure to go early or the free tickets will go out quickly. 😉 3️⃣In addition, there are other attractions such as the Gate of Peace and Sforzesco Castle. Everyone can plan smartly according to their own time schedule. 🤗 4️⃣ Regarding the transportation in Milan, you can buy a Milan ticket package when traveling in the city. There are many options such as 90-minute tickets, day tickets, and three-day tickets. Packages with day tickets and above can take the subway, bus and tram, which is very convenient. 👍 5️⃣Speaking of food, I come from Germany, and there is no Chinatown where I live in Germany. Milan happens to have Chinatown, where there are milk tea shops such as Chamoido and Coco, as well as hot pot restaurants and barbecue restaurants. I would especially recommend the "Chaotianmen" Chongqing buffet hotpot, which costs 23.9 euros for lunch and 28.9 euros for dinner. I really didn’t expect that there are crabs and super delicious fried rice here, and the service attitude is also very good! Everyone must try it. 😋 6️⃣Milan is really full of leisure and is worthy of being a fashion capital. I feel that everyone here is very fashionable and avant-garde, which makes people’s eyes bright. 💕 Dear friends, come to Milan to start a romantic journey of fashion and history. I believe you will fall in love with this charming city. 💖

#Great Places in September 2024 The Arco della Pace, originally known as the Arc de Triomphe, was built by Napoleon in 1807 to celebrate his victory in the European War. However, before the gate was completed, Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo and exiled. In 1826, Francisco, the ruler of Milan, renamed it the Arch of Peace. Above the door stands a bronze statue of the goddess of peace, holding an olive branch and standing on a chariot drawn by six horses, symbolizing peace and victory. The Arch of Peace has now become one of Milan's famous landmarks, attracting countless tourists to come and take photos to experience its unique historical charm and grandeur.

Passing through the park to Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe The three-dimensional shells look more magnificent when seen from up close than from afar I sat in the shade looking at the Arc de Triomphe and rested This time is the most memorable today

Porta Sempione is a city gate of Milan. The gate is marked by a landmark triumphal arch called Arco della Pace. It is a symbol of Milano and one of the most important neoclassical monument of Italy. Easy to go there by walking from Milano Cathedral. It could take around 20 mins walk. There is a park near the gate. It stands at Porta Sempione, the architectural design are stunning 🤩 #italy #Milano #historicallandmarks
