Marvellously Milan

Find a bargain at the antiques fair in Navigli, 8.30am–6.30pm, on the last Sunday of every month except July and August. Have a treatment at the Gianfranco Ferré spa (+39 02 7601 7526). Walk from the Duomo to La Scala via the elegant shopping arcade Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, window-shopping all the way.

 

Don't go home without

… poking your nose into Milan's foremost fashion mecca, X Corso Como (+39 (0)2 2900 2674): this boutique is to Milan what Colette is to Paris (only better), and stocks probably the best selection of labels you're ever likely to find under one roof. Fashion-forward? This place is beyond next year…

Getting there

City break, Milan, Italy

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
There are two airports: a taxi from Malpensa to the centre costs about €70; the fare from Linate is €18.
Trains
The Malpensa Express runs every 30 mins, connecting Terminal 1 and Milan’s Cadorna railway station in about 40 mins.
Automobiles
A car can be a good idea, especially in summer when the lakes beckon, 40 mins away. Driving in Milan is not too challenging.
