The city of Milan enjoys worldwide renown – particularly for the Scala di Milano, one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world, as well as for its leading position in the fashion industry, which contributes significantly to the international reputation of the Italian metropolis. Along Via Montenapoleone, arguably one of the most exclusive shopping streets in Europe, boutiques of all the big names in the fashion industry line the streets. A feeling of luxury surrounds visitors to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The so-called "fashion outlet buses" depart right next to the Galleria and invite you to significantly cheaper, yet equally exclusive shopping opportunities in the surrounding area. In addition to fashion and culture, Milan also impresses with its diverse architecture, ranging from historic buildings like the impressive Milan Cathedral to modern glass palaces. The city uniquely combines tradition and innovation, which is reflected not only in its cityscape but also in its vibrant life. Numerous cafés, restaurants, and bars invite you to fully enjoy the Italian way of life and soak up the atmosphere of one of Europe's most vibrant cities. This eBook was created in cooperation with the Austrian Federal Railways, thanks to the generous support of the Italian Tourism Board ENIT in Vienna and the City of Milan.
