Milan is also famously known for being one of the world’s fashion capitals, being home to Milan Fashion Week twice a year. The city is also home to plenty of cultural institutions. At the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, you can view Leonardo’s The Last Supper. Or view the paintings by Italian masters at the Pinacoteca di Brera Gallery.
