Experience Luxury: Italy’s Rapidly Growing Gem Dubbed the ‘New York’ of the Country Posted on March 7, 2024July 12, 2024 By Travelworldwide Italy is one of the most iconic places in the world, and the entire country is worth exploring from top to bottom. With its rich history, beautiful beaches, and some of the best food on the planet, you can’t go wrong visiting Italy. While Rome, Venice, and the stunning Amalfi Coast are the most popular destinations, there’s another vibrant city that’s gaining attention. Milan, often called the “New York of Italy,” is a fast-growing city filled with amazing food, luxurious accommodations, and endless shopping opportunities. Milan is a city where old meets new. When you think of Italy, you might picture ancient sites, charming villages, or the beautiful coast. But Milan offers a different experience with its cosmopolitan vibe and skyscrapers. Despite its modern appearance, Milan has plenty of cultural sites and traditions, like the must-see Duomo di Milano (Milan Cathedral). Milan’s energy is similar to New York’s, with its bright skyline, bustling streets, high-end shopping, and top-notch restaurants. It’s a different pace compared to other Italian destinations like Lake Como, Sicily, or Venice. Milan is perfect for those who love upscale shopping, with brands like Fendi, Prada, and Gucci at your fingertips. After shopping, you can enjoy some of Italy’s best cuisine, including pizza, Minestrone Milanese, and risotto alla Milanese. For accommodations, Milan offers luxurious hotels with dreamy amenities, such as the Four Seasons and Chateau Monfort. If you want to combine shopping with a luxurious stay, the Bulgari Hotel Milano is an excellent choice. While Milan might not be the cheapest destination once you arrive, getting there can be surprisingly affordable. It’s one of the cheapest gateways to Europe from many U.S. cities, with roundtrip airfare often in the $300s or low $400s. For budget travelers, there’s plenty to see near Milan, like the scenic Lake Orta, allowing you to enjoy Italy’s countryside without breaking the bank. Plus, major airlines like American Airlines and British Airways offer nonstop flights from JFK, making it convenient and affordable to reach Milan. Blog
