As a part of our trip, DF and I spent 8 days in three Italian cities: Milan, Florence and Rome. We were constantly on the go as 8 days were really short for 3 cities and it gave us just enough time to see the main tourist attractions. Our first stop in Italy was Milan. For the very first time, we voted against flying and gave the overnight train (operated by Thello) a go as we would be able to sleep on the train and arrive in Milan early the next morning to make the most of our day. We got a private double sleeper just for the two of us so we definitely felt safer and comfortable even though Thello trains are fairly old.
I have been to Rome and Florence before but this was my first time in Milan. DF and I took the iconic red City Sightseeing bus around the city as we only had 1 day in Milan and hopped off at the Duomo ('Cathedral'), the most oustanding architectural building in Milan. I have seen it in photos but as I was standing there, I could not help but repeating "wow" over and over. The white marble facade with thousands of spires are amazing and the space inside the Duomo is equally impressive. I especially love the spectacularly large stained-glass windows behind the choir in the back. And of course, we took the lift up to the roof where DF and I enjoyed a panoramic view of the city and some very cute over-sized blue snails sculptures.
