Lombardy Travel Recommendations for 2023 (Updated in Dec)

Lost in the centuries

In the heart of Milan, my journey through Duomo di Milano was a captivating blend of history, art, and breathtaking views. As I ascended the stairs to the terraces, the cityscape unfolded beneath me, a modern metropolis juxtaposed against the timeless beauty of the cathedral’s spires. The sculptures adorning the exterior told tales of craftsmanship and dedication. Each intricately carved figure seemed to breathe life into the stone, whispering stories of the artisans who had left their mark over the centuries. It was a tangible connection to the past, a living testament to the city’s rich history. Reaching the terraces, the panoramic view was nothing short of enchanting. Milan stretched out in all directions, a vibrant canvas of life and culture. The juxtaposition of ancient architecture against the backdrop of a modern cityscape created a visual symphony that left me in awe. Inside the cathedral, the play of sunlight through stained glass bathed the space in a kaleidoscope of colors. The air was filled with a sense of reverence as I wandered through the vast interior, marveling at the intricate details of the chapels and the soaring arches above. Duomo di Milano was not merely a structure; it was an immersive experience that transcended time. Each step carried me through centuries of history. Imagine, they spent over 6 centuries to build it! 😍Each glance revealed the artistry of those who had contributed to its creation. It was a day where the beauty of the view, the allure of the sculptures, and the richness of history converged, creating a memory etched in the tapestry of my traveling. I definitely recommend to buy a tickets to the top 🔝 upstairs, it’s a pure beauty, combined with city view, which I explained above. :) #freehotelstay#italy #italytrip #milano #duomomilano #milan #milancathedral

The Stunning Milan Cathedral (Duomo Di Milano)

This cathedral is one of the largest in Milan and one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. It shows great attention to details as it's architectural design is just pure genius and it takes centuries to complete building it. You can't help but stand in awe on this holy ground as I admire the fine arts and beauty in this place of worship. You can also climb up flights of stairs to the top of Duomo di milano and you can get an even upclose view to the statues on the sides of this cathedral, at the top. Be it day or night, the Milan cathedral is beautiful as it is and every angle of it looks incredible. I highly recommend everyone to come here.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Facts

Sharing some fun and interesting facts about this grand masterpiece - Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: 1. The main entrance is a monument in itself (and guess what I didn’t end up taking a photo with it, whoops…just means I have to go back). 2. Take a look at the floors of this magnificent building - they are truely remarkable and the central octagonal part of the gallery features the coats of arms of 4 Italian cities. 3. The roof of the gallery was completely destroyed during WWII and had to be completely restored. 4. Apparently, McDonald’s hasn’t been welcome here since 2012 (but you can find a chain of it just around the corner outside, which to @__marievi__ and my surprise was packed and had constant queues outside).
 5. Did you know there is a gorgeous hotel situated inside the gallery, well there is! For those of you looking to book a special few nights in Milan, this place should definitely be on your radar. #bucketlistreboot #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #summervacation #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #2023travelwish #italy #milan #milano #italia #europe #travel #travelrecommendations #wanderlust
