Milan

We asked Head Concierge Leonardo Bruscagin of Four Seasons Hotel Milano, to gather the savviest sightseeing suggestions he could find—not just his own but also those of other local connoisseurs, including some he works with every day at the Hotel. Experience Milan at its finest, from the area’s vineyards to the world-famous opera house, La Scala.

Shop Talk

As a world fashion capital, Milan is a superb place to shop. The Hotel stands on the edge of the Quadrilatero d’Oro, “the Golden Rectangle.” The area is home to an alphabet of flagships from Armani to Zegna, by way of Bulgari, Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Gucci, MaxMara, Prada, Valentino and Versace, most of whom will arrange to have your purchases delivered straight to your room. Alternatively there’s the 19th-century shopping arcade Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, while other must-stops include the über-modish boutique Gio’ Moretti and 10 Corso Como.

Suit Up

When it comes to menswear there’s really nothing finer than an Italian-made suit. The tailoring is top-notch at Gianni Campagna on Via Palestro 24 and at Tindaro De Luca on Via Gesù 15.

Art and Architecture

Milan’s most famous landmark may be the Gothic Duomo. But for art aficionados, the must-visit church is the 15th-century Santa Maria delle Grazie and its adjoining convent, where Leonardo’s famed “Last Supper” hangs in the refectory. (It’s essential you ask the Concierge to book ahead.) The church is near Corso Magenta in an area known as Sant’Ambrogio, a still palpably Bohemian area of cobbled streets, filled with antique dealers and other intriguing shops. If that masterpiece gives you a taste for looking at painting, then Mantegna’s Dead Christ in the Pinacoteca of Brera is another unmissable work.
