Italy
Milan
Milan is Italy's design capital — the Duomo, fashion, and a 10pm aperitivo that turns into dinner.
Milan is sleeker and faster than the rest of Italy — a city of fashion, finance, and design. See the Duomo and the Last Supper, then eat aperitivo like a Milanese.

Amalfi Coast

Bologna
Italy
Bologna is Italy's food capital — tortellini, porticoes, and a university older than most countries.
