✅Accommodation recommendation: UNAHOTELS Verticale Milano
Located in the city center of Milan, close to the Vertical Forest, with convenient transportation and a subway station at the doorstep. The rooms are modern and spacious, with a large terrace offering a panoramic view of the city. The hotel not only provides a comfortable accommodation environment but also arranges unique experience activities. To let me fully experience the fashion atmosphere of Milan, the hotel specially arranged a private shopping experience, where I could choose my favorite items in La Rinascente, which is connected to the cathedral, with a wide range of international brands and a fragrance area that is mesmerizing. The scent of Maison Francis Kurkdjian is like magic, with each perfume being a carefully crafted work of art, exuding a unique fragrance and story. In addition, the hotel also arranged a Milanese ice cream and pizza making experience at Towns of Italy, where I followed the steps of a professional chef, from kneading the dough to spreading the sauce, and then sprinkling with rich cheese and fresh vegetables, to personally experience the fun of making.
