After breakfast at hotel (fruit, cake, eggs, coffee), we headed into Milan for a big day of sightseeing. First the Duomo (Milan Cathedral) where we headed up to the roof before looking at the spectacular interior. Then onto the Museo del Novecento, a 20th century Italian art museum with some really interesting sculptures. Lunch was pizza, at Gino Sorbillo in the very impressive Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
After lunch we walked slowly (as it was incredibly hot!) to the Piazza Affari (to see the rather rude Il Dito statue), then onto the Castello Sforzesco. We decided not to go into the museums here, instead wandering through the castle and to Sempione Park to see the Arch of Peace. Sadly the park was closed due to the number of fallen trees from the storm. So we had ice cream instead!
For dinner we took a trip on the metro to a different part of town, eating at the Cantiere Hambirreria Milano – amazing barbeque style food. On the way home, we walked from the metro station via the canal, which was too busy with bars for our liking!
