Milanese Sights


Cathedral
Dress: Urban Outfitters

An Italian fashion mecca, Milan’s architecture, art, music, and industry aren’t too shabby either. While the gothic Cathedral and the glass-vaulted Galleria Vittorio Emanuele can’t be missed, I scheduled some more out-of the-way excursions. I was able to snag tickets to view Da Vinci's Last Supper at the Santa Maria delle Grazie church. It was amazing. Then, I picked up 10€ gallery tickets to the La Scala Opera by waiting at the Evening Box Office {with this tip}. It was worth the wait, I saw a sold-out The Barber of Seville later that evening.
