Hunting around for cheap flights to Milan from the USA? Well look no further than the great range on offer with Globehunters!
Milan is Italy's proud financial, fashion, media and business hub and symbolises everything which is historic, cultural and chic about the country. Although Rome may be geographically bigger and win on the political front, Milan and the affluent north of Italy really are what makes the whole country tick. Milan also boasts Italy's largest and busiest transport hub, with the biggest international airport, the most rail connections and the best subway system in the country. So why not start off your trip with a memorable visit to Leonardo da Vinci's work “Last Supper” whilst also enjoying the spectacular Gothic Duomo, the most enchanting of its kind then work your way round.
Sadly, when most people think of Italy, they think of Rome with its Colosseum and ancient architecture, the canals of Venice or the breath-taking natural beauty of Sorrento. However, once you really take the time to understand Milan, along with all its culture and eccentricities, you’ll soon start to appreciate why Italians look so lovingly upon their capital and why each area is so unique. Tourists are also lured the whole year round by the world-class shopping malls and boutiques that ooze wealth and sophistication. And of course, plenty of top designers too.
Oh, and one last thing to look out for (and it’s a real gem!): On Via dei Cappuccini, just off Corso Venezia, you’ll come across a side street which hides a stunning garden complete with flamingos (Giardini Invernizzi). It’s actually closed to the public, but you can still catch a glimpse and it’s something the kids – and grown-ups - will love!
If Milan is next on your bucket list, why not have a look at our great range of flights now, including first class and business class flights too.
