Trattoria Milanese
Since 1933, unchanged. Cotoletta alla milanese the size of a dinner plate, cassoeula in winter, and a room full of Milanese families on Sunday. The most authentic traditional trattoria still operating in the centre.
Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia
Leonardo da Vinci's engineering notebooks brought to life — wooden models of his flying machines, hydraulic devices, and war engines fill an entire wing. The largest science museum in Italy.
Last Supper Guided Tour
The only way to make sense of 15 minutes with Leonardo's masterpiece: go with an art historian. They explain the perspective trick, the damaged sections, the identities of the apostles, and why this painting changed art forever.
The Last Supper
Leonardo da Vinci's 15-metre mural in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Only 25 visitors at a time, 15 minutes each. Book months ahead — this is the single most important reason to come to Milan.
Santa Maria delle Grazie
The UNESCO World Heritage church that holds the Last Supper. The exterior is a Bramante masterpiece; the interior is quietly extraordinary even before you enter the refectory.
