Milan Has Lots To Offer For Tourist Across The World

Milan is a city in the north of Italy. The city rests in the Lombardy plains and it is home to a population of 1,308,500 inhabitants. It is thought that the city was first settled by the Celts around 600BC. Milan was then captured by the Romans around 222BC and by the 4th century the city was the capital of the Western Roman Empire. In the 11th century, the city was granted semi-independence by the Romans, but in ensuing years Milan faced invasions by France and Austria. The city regained independence in 1859, but it became a stronghold of the German army during World War II.

During this time, Milan suffered extreme bombing and large portions of the city were destroyed. Since the war ended in Italy on April 25th 1945, the city has been rebuilt as a stylish and welcoming metropolis.

Despite Allied bombing, the city does boast some stunning architectural treasures. The Duomo Cathedral was built in a late-Gothic style and boasts 1,000 statues and beautiful views from its spire. Equally impressive is the Santa Maria delle Grazie Church, which is also home to Leonardo da Vinci's 'Last Supper'. The lovely area around Porta Ticinese is also worth a wander as this old fashion quarter was almost entirely untouched by the bombings.

The city is renowned for its stylish residents and Milan boasts an abundance of shops where visitors can follow the latest trends. For those looking for exclusive (and expensive) items, the area around Via della Spiga is an essential visit. While the district around Buenos Aires Avenue offers equally beautiful, but slightly more affordable goodies.

You can also call this fantastic city a paradise for fashion. Historical and Modern sights, Museums, Monuments, Cultural Attractions and Great Shopping always attracts tourist across the World. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit this wonderful city.

Milan Travel Information
There are lots of traveling options available to reach this Fashion City. But I will guide you to travel by train when you are on hunt to explore European destination. Now I am used to travel by train and in Europe, it is Eurostar train (Chunnel Train), which is my favorite mode of transport. Chunnel train is most viable option than flights as it is fully packed with all basic amenities like thrilling speed of 186mph, excellent on-board facilities, great food and high punctuality rate. I took Eurostar from London's St Pancras International train station to Paris Gare Du Nord International and then you have to change the station at Paris to travel from Paris to Milan. From Paris, you need to hop on the Stendhal Sleeper train to Milan. You can also travel in Daytime by high-speed TGV trains from Paris to Milan.
