Happy Travel Tuesday! This post is going to be a little different than my normal recaps but I hope you’ll enjoy it nonetheless.
Before leaving for our trip, we all did a ton of research on things we wanted to do in each city, any possible day trips we may want to take out, etc. I found myself reading a lot of “top things to do in ______” and wanted to write my own for Milan.
- Visit the Galleria Emanuele II.
This is one of the oldest shopping malls in the world, houses two Prada stores and a Louis Vuitton and famously refused to renew McDonald’s lease because it wasn’t upscale enough.

Everything about this place is grandeur. The building is arcade style and four stories high, topped with a beautiful glass ceiling. The floor is beautiful and floor mosaics are scattered throughout the mall.
