Milan

Milan is Italy's second most populated city and has some of the tallest skyscrapers in the country. The city is very historic and has the second largest cathedral in the country. Also in Milan is the church where Da Vinci's The Last Supper was painted. Unfortunately I was unable to see it. The church was not open today and even if it was I would have had to book a reservation at least a week in advance. Due to the type of paint Da Vinci used, the mural has not lasted very well so the authorities limit the amount of people that can be in the room at once. Perhaps even more notably in Milan though is the fashion. The city is one of the world's best fashion cities and this is the leading part of the city's economy. It was a shopper's paradise, all of the world's top clothing brands had stores there.
