      The Italian Riviera: the itinerary

      Itinerary

      This itinerary takes you in a visit to Milan, then, driving south, to Pavia and its Charterhouse, to arrive to the Riviera di Levante, the Italian Riviera, with its major attractions of Portofino, Camogli and San Fruttuoso Abbey.

      It then visits Genoa, to pass on the Riviera di Ponente to Savona.

      From here it drives north through the Langhes, with their famous vineyards, to end up with a visit to Turin.

      Milan

      Via Dante

      Taking a stroll around Milan is an excellent way of getting to know some fascinating corners. It’s also the only way to get acquainted with its flavor and lifestyle. It is true what is told about the Milanese who are always in a hurry. However, even if nobody could deny Milan is a very active city, its citizens have learned when to stop and how to enjoy a walk in the city center pedestrian areas while having an aperitif and a good chat with some good friends.

      Castello Sforzesco

      The city center pedestrian areas:

      Corso Vittorio Emanuele is a pedestrian precinct with two cinemas, Odeon and Arlecchino, bookshops, fashion shops, and bars with open-air tables.

      Piazza San Babila – Start the pedestrian precinct, a square surrounded by post-war architecture with many fashionable shops.

      Via Della Spiga – a pedestrian street where the great stylists have their showrooms.

      Brera is one of the most attractive streets with fine private houses, art galleries, and original shops, most famous for its bars, clubs, restaurants, and nightlife.

      Loggia dei Mercanti, via Mercanti

      Via Mercanti – pedestrian precinct with its attractive Piazzetta, the administrative and political center of Medieval Milan.

      Via Dante was created in the late 19th century to provide an evocative link between the Duomo (cathedral) and the Castle (Castello Sforzesco).

      A recommended itinerary:

      Itinerary

      Start from Piazza San Babila, easily reachable with the Metropolitana underground line 1, station San Babila. You walk into Corso Vittorio Emanuele, a fashionable street with lots of high-end shops, mainly clothing.

      The roof of the Duomo

      A visit to the roof of the Duomo is a must. Take the elevator in the back of the Duomo if you don’t want to gasp on an interminable stair! From the rooftop you are in a magic world of marble and statues, several thousand statues, indeed. Go to the front of the roof and look down at Duomo square. Look also up to the Madonnina the golden statue on top of the highest guglia, it’s the most loved symbol of Milan. During World War II it was covered so that it would not shine in the night attracting the attention of the allied bombers.

      The Duomo from La Rinascente Cafè

      At the end of the Corso, you arrive at the back of the Duomo cathedral. Do not miss a visit to the cafeteria of the La Rinascente store under the porticos on your right. You find it by going up to the last floor of the store, the cafeteria has a glass wall facing the top of the Duomo. The site is unique, and the Cappuccino is worth a visit too.

      Continuing North, you reach the main square Piazza Duomo, in front of Il Duomo. You should visit the cathedral of the Duomo if you have not yet done so.
