Milan
One of Europe's four fashion capitals, Milan is also famous for its cuisine, opera, churches and Da Vinci's Last Supper fresco. Although it is a working city, as the country's business and financial capital, visitors come in droves for the shopping, eating and nightclubbing.

The commercial metropolis is home to many important business centres, financial institutions and Italy's stock market.
