hi peeps! It was on my lifelong travel bucket list to visit milan at
least one time in my life. and yes, this year this dream became true
(amongst so many others) but we have definitely spent too little time
in this beautiful city to discover it entirely ...
in
italian the milan cathedral is called duomo di milano. it's located
in the eponymous district duomo in the vibrant heart of the city. this district is located in zona 1, where you can find the piazza del
duomo, the luxury shopping district via montenapoleone and the parco
sempione.
the
majority of tourists usually strive through zona 1 and so did we.
while
strolling through the district of duomo with its beautiful white
cathedral and the galleria vittorio emanuele 2 (where you can also
find the worlds first prada store) you can recognize many antique
roman architectonic features.
the
duomo di milano ranges among the most famous buildings throughout the
whole of europe and the world. it's a masterpiece of human skill.
the
high crenels nearly dislimned in the glistening sunlight and made
this example of extraordinary architectonic work seem much more
beautiful and surreal.
again
i have been fascinated by the creative power of the human beings once
they get to know the greatness and love of god.
i
guess i have fallen in love with the beautiful duomo di milano. and
yes – i definitely want to see it again!
unfortunately
we didn't have the time to go inside the cathedral. that's a pity
indeed because anytime i visit a cathedral or church i light a candle
and say a prayer.
of
course there are also many ways of having some divine (and glamorous)
shopping experiences. the italian fashion metropolis houses the
worlds first prada store within the beautiful galleria vittorio
emanuele 2 and also hosts one of the most prestigious fashion weeks
worldwide, featuring designers such as dolce & gabbana.
a stroll through one of the many designer outlets which you can find
throughout the whole city was obligatory. we have also visited the
beautiful zara store near the duomo di milano and the blue sand and
immagine stores which sell italian-designed high quality apparel and
accessoires at unbelievably low prices. i have found beautiful
ruffled dresses at a cost of 20€ or less!
and
you can also find my favourite pâtisserie in milan: ladurée - their
saint-honorés and macarons gained world-wide reputation, not just
since sofia coppolas masterpiece 'marie antoinette'!
i can't wait for my next visit and a delicious aperitivo with a view to
the wonderful duomo di milano.
milan
is also only 6h away from baden-baden if you travel by car – a mere
stone's throw in my opinion!
milan
– oh, what a beauty.
have
you ever visited milano? which place is still on your travel bucket
list?
