Sant'Ambroeus -Corso Matteotti 7
The perfect spot to have a breakfast right in the middle of the “fashion jungle”. Sant’Ambroeus takes its name from the patron of the city and it is one of the most traditional coffee places in Milan. It is excellent for breakfast, lunch and aperitivo prior to dinner. Croissants, chocolates, cakes are wonderful. If you go there for lunch, try the risotto or the “Cotoletta alla Milanese” which are always more than delicious. Closed on Monday.

A classic, always good. The food is perfect the atmosphere a bit boring but their “veranda” on the side of Palazzo della Scala it’s a worthy stop. Good also for a glass later in the afternoon
Piazza della Scala 5 | +390 2 806 88 201
With windows looking out onto La Scala, the Trussardi touch is a light one; the parquetry and leather combo is far from stuffy. The food too has a directness, with seasonal dishes like grilled scallops with ginger powder and peanut cream or roast spring lamb with potato, avocado and lime, mixing it up with earthier Milanese favourites.

If you decide to go to Giacomo Arengario you will have lunch or dinner with one of the most extraordinary views in the world as the main façade of the 13th century cathedral and the entrance of the “Galleria” will be located just in front of you! The food is very good and you may taste both meat or seafood. My favourites include the “Paccheri” a very particular type of pasta and the “Pempura of seafood and vegetables”. Excellent wine list, service is efficient and friendly. If you like quiet restaurants do not go there! Always open.

Luini famous panzerotti is a Must in visiting Milan!
Bread/pizza dough folded in a half moon shape with a mozzarella & tomato filling inside (2,50€)
Expect some que, but it's totally worth it!.
A not to be missed Milanese snack is panzerotti (fried turnover stuffed with tomato and mozzarella), served from the busy counter of Luini, around the corner from the Galleria. The Luini bakery created its wonderful panzerotto – it’s something like a doughy pizza – in 1949, and the recipe has been a carefully guarded secret ever since. The quaintly old-fashioned shop is always full of locals queuing at the counter for the original mozzarella-and-tomato stuffed panzerotti – which come fried or oven-baked – and absolutely everything is made fresh daily on the premises. There's always a long queue but the line moves fast.

Located in a 19th-century weigh station, it has a cosy ambience and some of the finest funghi porcini pasta in the city; the generous Costoletta alla Milanese (breaded veal) barely fits onto its serving plate. You can also try the Osobuco Milanese, risotto al saffron. Any deviations from tradition will be strongly discouraged, including the sacrilegious squeezing of lemon juice on to your cutlet.

THE LAKES : LAKE COMO
Things to Do in Lake Como: A ferry ride across the lake, Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo, Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, Villa del Balbianello in Isola Comacina..
Shopping : FoxTown, the luxury outlet in Mendrisio (in Switzerland, less than 20 minutes drive). Como
The antique centre of the town is a must-see. The 12th century walls contain the Romanesque Cathedral the Broletto (medieval town hall), the Basilicas of St. Abbondio and St. Carpoforo, and the majestic neoclassical Villa Olmo, hosting major art exhibitions during the summer months.
Bellagio
Worldwide known as the “pearl of Lake Como”, Bellagio is suspended like a pendant on the promontory where the lake’s western and eastern arms split and head south.
Villas & Gardens
Como is worldwide famous for its majestic villas and their flourishing gardens. Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, Villa Melzi, Villa Erba...all breathtaking!
Cernobbio
The shoreline of Cernobbio, a graceful town at 5 minutes walking distance from Sheraton Lake Como Hotel, comprises a compact quarter of old houses just off the lakeside piazza and is laced with a series of fine villas fronting the water. It is ideal for a walk along the lakeshore, followed by an ice-cream or a cocktail in the picture square facing the small pier.
Entertainment : There are three international casinos within Lake Como at Campione d’Italia, Mendrisio and Lugano
Local Dishes: Lake Como’s most distinctive dish is pizzoccheri, a ribbon-like pasta made from buckwheat and wheat flours, traditionally served with Savoy cabbage and diced potatoes. The pasta tastes best when it is sprinkled liberally with the Casera cheese produced in the Valtellina valley just east of Lake Como.
Local Day Trips: Fans of "Star Wars Episode II" may want to visit the Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como’s western shore, which was used as a set in the film. The villa, built in the 18th century on the site of an abandoned Franciscan monastery, offers guided tours.
The definitive Lake Como experience may be a ferry boat ride across the lake at sunset. Many people find Bellagio, nicknamed "The Pearl of the Lake," the most striking example of the distinctive, local architecture. Visit Villa Balbianello by boat shuttle or ferry and take a guided tour for a small fee, or just wander through the gardens. Villa Monastero is another stunning example of the charming architecture of the Lake Como area.

Piazza Mercanti - Loggia of the Merchants
Piazza dei Mercanti was the marketplace where artisans, cobblers, seamstresses, weavers, tailors and bakers offered their goods for little money. Along with them also advocates proposed their services on street in Via Mercanti. Check out the Palace of Reason, which divides the Via dei Mercanti from the Piazza dei Mercanti. On the ground floor, you will see the Loggia of the Merchants, a portico where merchants gathered to sell their wares. And it is exactly this spot that holds a romantic secret. It is an acoustic effect, created by the geometry of the portico’s arches: if one stands in the corner of the loggia and speaks, even quietly, facing the columns, anyone standing in the opposite angle can hear exactly what was said. It is told that since the Medieval Age, the merchants used this intriguing method of conversation to exchange business details undercover.

The basilica of SAN’AMBROGIO
Piazza Sant'Ambrogio 15
The church is dedicated to Ambrose, bishop of Milan. It is a superb example of Lombard Romanesque architecture. First built from 379 to 386, it was then a typically Palaeochristian structure. At that time Ambrose had named it “Basilica Martyrum.”Don’t miss the superb Golden Altar by Volvinio. In addition, there are extensive frescoes in the seventh chapel at the end of the right nave, which leads into the Chapel of San Vittore in Ciel d'Oro. In the apse, the large mosaic depicts the Savour between Saints Gervasio and Protasio. In the left-hand section of the nave, there is a fine Late-Roman sarcophagus, known as the Stilicone sarcophagus, now part of a Mediaeval pulpit. In the crypt, there is a large container in bronze and crystal glass, containing the remains of Saints Ambrose, Protasio and Gervasio.On the left side of piazza Sant’Ambrogio stands the ancient Corinthian column dating back to the end of the II – beginning of the III century and named the column “of the Devil”. It was transported there from a different location. Constructed in the ancient era, it is completely made of marble and was named following a legend that told the tale of a battle between Sant’Ambrogio and the devil.
History recounts that the column was a means of communication with hell and that it was possible to smell sulphur coming from the two holes. It can be reached by M2 (green line) - Sant'Ambrogio stop.

NAVIGLI DISTRICT Enjoyment at the Naviglio Grande and Corso Porta Ticinese Navigli District Alzaia Naviglio Grande and surrounding areas- M2 Porta Genova FS The Navigli are a widespread network of canals whose history is linked to Leonardo da Vinci, during his time in Milan from 1482 to 1499 he found fertile ground for his genius: in fact, he studied this sophisticated system of navigable canals to ferry people and merchandise to Milan, to irrigate the fields and to defend the city – that made Milan a real “city of water”. The so-called “Conca di Viarenna” is what remains today of one of the 5 canal locks used to navigate through Milan from the Darsena to the Naviglio Martesana, north of Milan. The basin of the Darsena, the old mercantile port of the city and a node of the vast fluvial system of Navigli canals now almost entirely covered, extends between viale Gabriele d’Annunzio and viale Gorizia. Since the beginning of 2013, the area has been subjected to in-depth redevelopment work as the city gets ready to host Expo 2015. An overview of the ancient Navigli can be admired in the rooms of the Museo del Naviglio, in the neighbourhood of the Conca dell’Incoronata (mentioned by Leonardo da Vinci in his Codex Atlanticus http://www.museodeinavigli.com, via San Marco 40, M2 Moscova). Today, the area is bursting with trendy dining and nightlife spots, various markets full of fresh and local items and is even home to one of the main hubs of the “Milanese movida”.

The so-called “Conca di Viarenna” is what remains today of one of the 5 canal locks used to navigate through Milan from the Darsena to the Naviglio Martesana, north of Milan. The basin of the Darsena, the old mercantile port of the city and a node of the vast fluvial system of Navigli canals now almost entirely covered, extends between viale Gabriele d’Annunzio and viale Gorizia. Since the beginning of 2013, the area has been subjected to in-depth redevelopment work as the city gets ready to host Expo 2015.
