I already took you to Milan once, but it was Winter and freezing cold...so what's better than a beautiful and warm Saturday in September?
After a 2 hours' train trip and a short underground ride, I took a long walk through the city centre..... The picturesque area of Navigli....
...The Sforza Castle....
The Cathedral Square and its shopping arcade, La Scala (world renowned opera house) and last but not least Via della Spiga, one of the most prestigious and upscale shopping streets...
La Rinascente, sort if Italian Selfridges,where I had a refreshing break on its top floor and enjoyed the lovely view over the Cathedral....
3 kilometers of shopping streets in the afternoon...I must confess you I couldn't wait to reach the train station, LOL!
I did buy myself only a leopardskin scarf...so empty-handed but full stomach, judging by the awful amount of sweets I had ........
Off to work magic for the 10 big blisters I got on my feet now! Ouch! :-)

What a beautiful city, and your photographs are gorgeous.
Full tummy and blistered feet but you also had a wonderful time and have lots of happy memories of your visit, too - plus a new scarf! I've loved all your photos thanks for sharing your trip to Milan:)
It looks lovely, great photos!
Thank you for the shopping trip! I am sure I could have spent loads of money. You were very restrained to just buy a scarf. The food looks absolutely inspiring and delicious!x
A lovely day out, all those cakes :)

Hi Michela, Lovely photo's as always, Milan is so beautiful! Look after those feet...
Ciao Michela!
Milano sembra molto bella nelle foto. But... I remember the smell of smog, the fog, and how grey the city was and how hot and stuffy it felt, being in a city where, in Summer, the sky wasn't blue, or as blue as "my! sky!
Last time I was in Milan, we stopped at the station for a couple of hours and I told myself that I would never go back. Maybe it's just me... I know it's me, but...
The city looks beautiful in your photos. All Italian cities are beautiful and buzzing with life.
I remember Piazza del Duomo at Christmas time and my dad buying me a small Panettone Motta in a pale blue box!
Nice post, Michela! Milano really looks beautiful in your lovely photos!
BUONA DOMENICA!
