PIAZZA DUOMO
The Piazza del Duomo offers some of the most iconic shots of Milan. Dominated by the incredible cathedral (Duomo), the square marks the geographic + cultural centre of the city, + is bordered by some of Milan's most important buildings.
PIAZZA GAE AULENTI
The Piazza Gae Aulenti offers a more modern side of the city. Its main square, elevated 6 metres above the street, is surrounded by a number of interesting buildings: The Bosco Verticale (a pair of towers covered in 2000 species of plants) + the imposing Unicredit Tower.
NAVIGLI
The Navigli are an ancient system of canals that are etched into the city's history: Construction began on the first canal, the Naviglio Grande, way back in the 12th Century! - These days, Navigli is famous for its nightlife, with the streets coming alive at night thanks to its many bars + restaurants.
