Top design spots in Milan: Your Guide to a Global Capital of Architecture

Milan is famous as Italy's leading financial center and as one of the fashion capitals of the world. Its fast pace and continuously evolving nature make it one of the most intriguing destinations to visit. So, experience the world's top design and fashion spots while staying at Radisson Collection Hotel, Santa Sofia Milan, or at Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Touring Club Milan; both hotels are conveniently located around a 10-minute walk from the famous Duomo. Looking for what to do in Milan? Here are some suggestions to help you before you set off and discover everything this vibrant city has to offer.

Step back in time

Wander through the renowned Duomo's spires

When thinking about what to do in Milan, you first need to head to the Duomo, the impressive Gothic-style cathedral built in 1386, located center stage in the heart of the city. Nowadays, you can climb up the large rooftop terrace and enjoy the stunning panoramic views and rare close-ups of exquisite spires and sculptures. Make sure to visit the Duomo early in the morning to enjoy the surrounding serenity or even take a selfie or two.

Be inspired by food as you travel

Shop till you drop at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Turn your gaze to the side of Duomo Cathedral, and your eyes will fall upon the gorgeous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. This is Italy's oldest active shopping mall and one of Milan's major landmarks. Combining historical architecture and renowned fare, Galleria Vittoria Emanuele II invites you to stroll under its impressive two glass-vaulted arcades, architectural gems and among its rich aromas. If you love fashion, book a shopping-centric tour to indulge in the high-end retailer of your liking. For the foodies and coffee devotees out there, we suggest heading to Pasticceria Marchesi. In this historical café, you can enjoy the strong flavor of Italian coffee or a heavenly biscuit box. Otherwise, take a seat at Galleria Restaurant, a sophisticated restaurant with delicious pizzas, pasta and pastries.

Live like a local in Navigli

Suppose you are searching for a place, a short bus ride away, to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center. Navigli's quaint independent stores, artist studios, picturesque cafes and restaurants can offer just that. With a rich assortment of chic boutiques and a quirky thrift-store scene, there will always be a new treasure trove to unearth. Notice the various historical gems you walk past – the quiet Santa Maria delle Grazie al Naviglio boasts beautiful stained glass. At the same time, Vicolo dei Lavandai invites you to step back in time and imagine what life was like at the beginning of the last century. This hidden part of the city is the perfect place to unwind while watching the warm hues of the sunset mirror into the canals. Once you are done exploring, immerse yourself in the Milanese culture with a traditional after-work aperitivo, accompanied by delicious small delicacies. If you happen to be here on the last Sunday of the month, go on a treasure hunt to the charming antique street market, where you will discover remnants of the past such as furniture, jewelry, toys, print and books.

Discover the Fondazione Prada

This grand Baroque palazzo, dating back to 1910 as a gin distillery, famously attracts contemporary art enthusiasts. Meander through the temporary exhibitions and permanent installations while photographing the hidden corners of this diamond in the rough.

With an eye to the future

A vertical forest, an urban district, and an unpredictably fascinating museum

Make a day out of modern Milan and head to Bosco Verticale, the self-sustainable vertical forest. This residential building is a great option for anyone interested in a green future and is 111 meters tall. Impressively, it boasts more than 900 trees on its balconies, successfully creating nature's utopia in this modern city. Or, if you are a fan of all things modern, head to CityLife to walk below the world's most refined skylines, the three towers, while you stay at the nearby Radisson Blu Hotel, Milan. You can enjoy an open-air art trail, Artline, and its exciting installations here. Finally, if you visit with family or young ones, go to the Museo delle Culture (Museum of Cultures) or MUDEC. The old, disused factories have been converted into new creative spaces to showcase the world's different cultures. Let the children roam in the specially designed Junior space while you admire this architectural wonder's whimsical curves and sharp edges. If you head to the staircase which leads from the entrance lobby to the coveted plaza on the first floor, remember to take a photo. It's worth it.
