Apparently, you can see Milan in one day.

And yet I stayed for 5. 😅

To be fair, I barely did anything other than work during the first four days, so on my final day here I decided to test it:

Can you see the most important sights in Milan in one day?

And yeah… I actually think you can.

Here’s the route I followed in case anyone else wants some tips and inspiration. All the photos are also in the same order as the stops

📍 Start: Duomo

I started at the Duomo and bought an entry ticket for €10. For me, it was worth it to go inside and experience the cathedral from the interior as well, plus visit the museum.

You could also pay extra to go up to the rooftop, but I didn’t do that.

From there, I continued with a 5-minute walk to:

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

I didn’t buy anything, but I still thought it was a really cool shopping gallery to visit, and since it’s right next to the Duomo, it fit perfectly into the route.

Inside the gallery, there’s a bull on the floor, and apparently you’re supposed to spin around three times with your foot on the bull’s testicles for good luck… so obviously I had to do it.

Another 15-minute walk took me to:

📍 Sforzesco Castle 🏰

A massive castle built in the 14th/15th century, with a beautiful fountain outside.

You can walk through the castle for free, but there are also several museums inside that I assume you have to pay to enter.

Unfortunately, around the fountain in front of the castle there are several scammers who try to put a bracelet — basically a piece of string — around your wrist “for free” and then demand money afterward.

I saw one poor girl who was forced to pay with a €50 note and only got €31 back, meaning she basically bought a piece of string for €19. So be careful around there!

Once you walk through the castle, you come out into a park:

📍 Parco Sempione

The park then leads you to the triumphal arch:

📍 Arco della Pace

My next stop, after another 12-minute walk, was:

📍 Santa Maria delle Grazie

The church where you can find Leonardo da Vinci’s famous The Last Supper.

I didn’t see the painting, and it’s recommended that you book tickets in advance. But you can still vi

My first night train from Stockholm to Hamburg was warm, cramped and delayed—but what surprised me most happened during the night. Here’s the honest 16-hour experience

I took the Stockholm to Hamburg RDC EuroNight in a six-person couchette. See the €37 Interrail reservation, 16-hour journey, sleep score, and tips.

ChatGPT sent me on a quest in Hamburg, it was pretty good!

Here is the list if you want to do it yourself:

Hamburg Hauptbahnhof → Rathaus — walk about 15 min.
2. Rathaus → Speicherstadt — about 10–15 min.
3. Wander through Speicherstadt toward the Elbphilharmonie — roughly 20–25 min of scenic walking.
4. Elbphilharmonie → Landungsbrücken — walk along the waterfront, about 20–25 min.
5. Old Elbe Tunnel — optional. It’s right beside Landungsbrücken; walking partway in and back adds roughly 15–25 min.
6. Landungsbrücken → St. Michael’s Church — about 10–15 min uphill.
7. Michel → Reeperbahn/St. Pauli — approximately 15–20 min.
8. From Reeperbahn, take the S-Bahn back to Hamburg Hbf instead of walking. The current HVV timetable shows direct S-Bahn service between Reeperbahn, Landungsbrücken, Jungfernstieg and Hamburg Hbf.
