Milan pretty much speaks for itself… The detailed architecture of the Duemo, the range of galleries, the designer shops, the busy atmosphere, the list goes on. This is without a doubt the most mind-blowing city that I have visited and it was even more of an adventure as I was travelling with my friends. There's variety of places to visit and something suited to all interests. Whether it be to see the last super painting, visiting the Opera House or shopping at the Quadrilatero della moda.
Although there are plenty of affordable high-street shops, there's nothing like going window shopping or seeing the latest designs in shops such as Versace, Gucci, Prada and other well known designers. Other than them, there was also shops which I had never heard of from Italy, of which my favourite was 'Kiko'. This is a branch of small make-up shops scattered all over Italy and other European countries, which are high quality yet affordable in price. Of course, not being able to budget my money properly, I spent quite a lot of money in there, and ending up buying over 30 items!
I also surprised myself by eating a pizza for the first time in years! Usually I would say I absolutely hate the thought of having a pizza, but I thought maybe I should try an actual Italian pizza, and actually enjoyed it! This showed me to stay open to new things and give everything a go even if you end up hating it! At Lake Como, we also had a very enjoyable boat trip which I managed to fall asleep on! Probably to my lack of sleep and late nights!
