If you’re visiting the northern parts of Lombardy via the Brescia Airport in Italy, chances are, your first stop would be Milan, Italy’s fashion capital. When in Milan, you should definitely check out the designer shops, spas and wellness farms; and the nightlife of course.

However, if you drive down to the Duomo, the most amazing cathedral in Milan; you will not only be seeing the magnificent and intricate designs done on the cathedral, you will also be in the midst of the Piazza del Duomo – where the whole city of Milan converges.

Car hires at Brescia Airport that are also available in Milan include those provided by Avis, Europcar, Alamo, National and Thrifty.

Milan is also home to historical monuments such as the Leonardo da Vinci Memorial, where you will see a figure of the Renaissance man looking over the city. Nearby is the La Scala Opera House – only the most popular opera house in the entire world.

At the Santa Maria delle Grazie museum, you will see Leonardo’s world-renowned masterpiece, the Last Supper. At the Ippodromo, you will see Leonardo’s beginnings of a sculpture of a horse which was only completed a decade ago through the help of some people who wanted to see the work of art completed in all its glory in honor of Leonardo.
