First we thought about Venice, then we changed to Rome and finally we decided on Milan as the city to spend for a nice weekend in Italy. I have to admit that I don’t know very much about this city. Only that it is a city famous for fashion and its fashion shows.

It gets even worse… on the website promoting Milan the city is roasted in the first paragraph. “The city of Milan does not calls to mind images of a city flooded by sunshine where people spend their time on white marble squares and cozy back alleys. The idea that Milan does not offer these things is correct.” and “You will not find people having lunch for hour but simple business.” An interesting way of promoting a city.

I really know very little about Italy. I know it is a catholic country and the people like to eat pizza and pasta and they enjoy nice cappuccinos, espressos, tiramisu cakes and of course the Italian ice cream. For sure it will be a nice weekend and visiting a new country for the first time is always worthwhile. :-)
