The highlight of Milan’s cultural treasures is the Duomo. Show your partner that you treasure them by climbing up to the roof for the best views of the city.

To get you in the mood

Maria Callas is the most famous diva of all time and the focal point of her singing life was La Scala in Milan. For a taste of opera, listen to some of her recordings of Tosca and Norma and reflect on her torrid romance with Aristotle Anassis. If you find full-length opera a bit overwhelming, then snap up a Best of Callas CD.

Robert Altman’s Pret-a-Porter is a full-on look at the Milan fashion shows and the gossip, back-biting and bitchiness that goes with the territory. All those fancy frocks donned by Sophia Loren, Julia Roberts and Lauren Bacall will get you in the mood for couture. Fashion photographer, Mario Testino captured the sexy side of the fashion world of Milan in his glossy book Front Row/Backstage.

Language of love

Stags and hens

Stags and hens need look no further than the canal district of Naviglio. Although rather dismal in the daytime, it comes alive at night with some of the best nightclubs in Europe. If football is your game, then this city is host to two of the world’s ritziest clubs, Internazionale and AC Milan. Just don’t wear your England scarves!
