Duomo di Milano
If you’re traveling to Milan, you probably already had the Duomo in mind as a sight to visit. However, De Laurentiis shares the “best way to see it” that will really elevate your experience: taking the stairs up to the top! It will cost an extra fee to climb the 250 steps up, but the view will be worth the hike.
Milano Centrale
This stop won’t be a hard find if you’re using public transportation to get around Milan. Yes: De Laurentiis recommends visiting Milan’s train station for the delicious food and unique atmosphere. She especially suggests the arancini stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella at the Mercato Centrale.
