MILAN
5 FAVORITE EXPERIENCES IN MILAN We were surprised by our time in Milan. First we weren’t planning on being there except overnight on our way to Paris. However, due to a rail strike we changes our plan spending a week in Milan. Best decision we made. Milan offers a lot of exciting experiences and wonders for visitors. We especially enjoyed the Grand Navigali Canal and the Milan Cathedral.
