  • When you think of Italy, your mind probably jumps straight to the Colosseum in Rome, the canals of Venice or the Renaissance art of Florence. What may not come to mind right away is… Milan. Our family visited Milan for the first time ever and this city has really surprised us. In this video, we’ll show you why we think Milan should be on your list. Whether you love food, shopping, nightlife, architecture or history, you’ll find something in Milan that lights you up!
    When you're done with this one, watch our London video here:

    I visited Milan in early June of this year and it was freakin' awesome! The Duome (from the roof to the basement archeological site), the Last Supper, Sforza Castle. and saw a real life gathering of actual communists right by the Galleria. The vertical garden apartments, Milano Centrale station, the food, the canals, La Scala Opera House, San Siro stadium, and the recreation of the giant bronze horse at the racetrack - a horse originally envisioned by DaVinci, and everything in between.
    Pro tip, you can pay a little extra to take an elevator to the top/terraces of the Duomo - worth it. That and reserve your time for as early as possible. Ditto for The Last Supper. I was literally the third person in line the morning I went. I also brought back Italian chocolate and several wedges of Italian cheese. For me it was also fun to see the small little street cars that were likely older than me. The subway makes getting to most things super easy. And the cannolis.

    What's up Top Flight Family! Awesome once again! Thanks for taking us around Milan. I guess you can say that Milan is underrated but the way you guys show it, I have a feeling it will pick up in the ranks!😄There is some awesome architecture and food to be seen and had in Milan too! Shout out to Serge and his gelato pics😄 That boat ride and the ocean views from Como to Varenna are amazing! I love the water and coastal views! Again thank you for another amazing adventure Top Flight Family. Be well, be safe and Cheers!

    Hey Top family. Ooooh. Italy. Never saw saffron in risotto. Nice your girls have an inquisitive palate. More to life than nuggets, hot dogs and Kraft Mac n cheese. Milan looks amazing. Is Milan, Rome, Venice within touring distance of one another? See a different city every couple of days. Wow. Alfredo is not Italian. And good categorized by regions. The pasta class looked fun. Love how you research and take local transportation, trains, ferry etc. Looks like you guys had pizza almost every meal and they all look different. The charcuterie had meats. No cheese? But there was pizza and olives. Congrats on your 1st Ferrari. Great video. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
