The Ferrari drivers, including Charles Leclerc and possibly Lewis Hamilton, will be out to reclaim their home track glory, aiming to put Scuderia Ferrari back on top in front of their passionate tifosi. But it won't be easy - fierce competition is expected from McLaren and Red Bull, with the latter hoping to continue their winning streak, led by Verstappen’s exceptional form.

Milan is Italy’s beating heart of style, where centuries-old palazzos stand shoulder to shoulder with avant-garde skyscrapers and high fashion spills onto grand boulevards. This is a city that thrives on reinvention, where da Vinci once sketched, Verdi composed, and Prada set the pace. Beneath its polished veneer lies a creative energy that pulses through its art, architecture, and aperitivo culture.

Must-sees:

• The Duomo di Milano – A gothic masterpiece dripping in marble spires, with a rooftop view that stretches to the Alps on a clear day.
• The Last Supper – Leonardo da Vinci’s legendary fresco, hidden inside the unassuming Santa Maria delle Grazie.
• Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II – A cathedral to couture, this 19th-century shopping arcade is where fashionistas (and their wallets) pay homage.
• Navigli District – Milan’s answer to Venice, where canals hum with lively bars, hidden courtyards, and vintage boutiques.
• Brera – A bohemian quarter of cobbled streets, independent galleries, and old-world cafés serving the perfect espresso.

Culinary culture:

Start with risotto alla milanese, a golden-hued rice dish rich with saffron and butter, or cotoletta alla milanese, a crispy, bone-in veal cutlet. Aperitivo is a ritual here—join the locals at a stylish bar for a negroni or a spritz, paired with endless small bites. And for dessert? A slice of panettone, best enjoyed year-round.

Dive deeper:

Milan’s cultural soul goes beyond the big sights. Seek out Fondazione Prada, an artistic wonderland in a transformed gin distillery, or step inside Villa Necchi Campiglio, a perfectly preserved 1930s villa where time stands still. Hidden beneath the streets, the San Bernardino alle Ossa chapel is lined with eerie yet beautiful human bones—a haunting secret of the city.

Good to know:

Milan is at its best in spring and autumn, when the weather is mild and fashion weeks bring extra buzz. The city’s metro is efficient, but strolling through its elegant streets is part of the charm. And while Milan is a high-fashion capital, its true magic lies in the effortless Italian flair that even a simple espresso stop can deliver.
