This weekend my parents visited me here in Milan, arriving on Friday morning and leaving Monday afternoon. Friday evening I just put my apartment at display followed by aperitivo. It quickly turned out that they also enjoyed the concept so we ended up having aperitivos every evening.

As for sight seeing, it’s no secret that Milan doesn’t offer all that much so we focused around the old area of Brera, which I have visisted a few times, and the Duomo. The Duomo is one of the largest churches in the world (either is or used to be the 3rd largest after Rome and Sevilla) and it has 3500 statues on the outside. As a result, the inside which can contain some 40000 people, is not all that interesting. The main attraction of the church is the ability to walk on the roof. The view, one of the highest in Milan, is amazing.
