🇮🇹 I’m Totally in Love with Milan! 🥰

During my week-long trip across Italy, I visited many cities, but Milan truly stole my heart ❤️. If you're planning a power tour 🚶, one day is enough to cover the highlights! 1️⃣ Duomo di Milano ⛪️ I booked my skip-the-line ticket (including elevator access + cathedral entry) about two weeks in advance through Ctrip for ¥189. Official websites also had plenty of tickets available. 2️⃣ Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II ⛩️ Right next to the Duomo — but super crowded! Perfect for a quick photo, but you’ll need to snap fast 📸. By 11:30 AM, we were done and ready for lunch! 🍝 Restaurant Recommendation: Osteria Da Fortunata (Brera) 📍 Via Fiori Chiari, 13, 20121 Milano MI Their pesto pasta and carbonara were delicious! All pasta is freshly handmade. Fun fact 🧠: Real Italian pasta is firmer than what many are used to — give it a try! 😜 3️⃣ Pinacoteca di Brera 🎨 To be honest — after so many European galleries, I was a bit art-fatigued. We skipped this one! 😅 4️⃣ Santa Maria delle Grazie ⛪️ Home to da Vinci’s The Last Supper — an absolute must-see! 🤩 I couldn’t get tickets on the official site, so I booked overpriced ones on Ctrip. 💡 Pro tip: Refresh the official site regularly — last-minute tickets sometimes pop up! ⚠️ PLEASE BE ON TIME! We were 5 minutes late and almost got turned away! Thankfully, they let us exchange for a later slot that day. Tours run every 15 mins in groups of ~30. No flash 📵 or video — just 15 mins inside. Final advice: Italy is famously strict about timed entries. Never, ever be late! ⏰ Wishing everyone an amazing trip to Italy! 🇮🇹✨ #Milan #ItalyTravel #EuropeDiaries #TravelTips #ArtLover #NoLateEntry
