Energy reverberates throughout Italy’s fashion and design capital. Milan is often described as serious, but we prefer the term confident. All you have to do is find the right places to go—and, luckily, our editors can help you with that. Head to the Pinacoteca di Brera to see an excellent collection of Italian paintings dating from the 13th to the 20th century, and to the Fondazione Prada for contemporary art. Go to the Trattoria del Pescatore and to the Ristorante II Consolare to join the years-long debate over which is the better seafood restaurant. Pair a negroni with Sicilian bites at LùBar, and finish the night at 1930, a secret bar that can only be entered by befriending its owners. Stay at the Grand Hotel et de Milan for a traditional feel, and at the Portrait for something modern and sophisticated. And if you’re in the mood for a stroll, make your way to the Villa Necchi, where Luca Guadagnino’s I Am Love was filmed.
