First Day in Italy: Milan

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand eyes, but I really love Milan! Funny, good-looking, crazy, stylish, and cultural.

✈️ HNA, direct flight from Shenzhen to Milan
Eat two meals on the plane, arrive at 5:30am local time, and start the first stop after entering the country: Fashion capital [Milan]

☁️ cloudy with light rain 🌧️
October 26, this time in Italy has entered the autumn, the morning and evening temperature difference is relatively large, it is recommended that long sleeves and trousers + thin coat, easy to wear and take off

👨 short-sleeved + hardshell jacket is great and will keep out rain if it rains
👩 trousers + windbreaker, because it was a 13-hour plane, in order to sit comfortably on the plane, I wore short-sleeved + trousers + sneakers, after the plane windbreaker began to wear a storm to Milan

🚗 airport is about a 45-minute drive from Duomo di Milan

⛪️ Duomo di Milano
🎫 Tour time, recommended 2 hours. I entered the church to visit, time is limited, did not rent a Chinese interpreter.
Five churches in the world. The largest Gothic church, standing at the foot of the church, more than a thousand years of history in front of the concrete, three-dimensional sculpture, telling the change of history. It lasted five centuries. Napoleon's coronation. More than 6,000 sculptures. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ. A flayed sculpture of St Bartholomew.

But even if you don't know this, you will still be shocked by the intuitive beauty.
The towering minarets under the tiled blue sky were poems made of marble.
⛪️ There is a red light 45 meters above the altar of the Cathedral of Milan, where the most important relic, the Holy Nail, was transferred here in 1461. The holy nail is believed to be one of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. According to folklore, in the fourth century AD, Elena, the mother of the emperor of Constantinople, brought the holy nail from Jerusalem back to Milan, the capital of the Roman Empire at that time.

🍦 Italian handmade ice cream is very famous
It's on the domed shopping street on the left side of the church, SAVINI
Recommended: Pistachio flavor, super delicious ~
Five euros a ball, six euros two balls
Soon it begins to melt. Take two shots and eat it quickly


⏰ [PM] The ancient city of Verona
The home of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Verona is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a city of international exchange! This is especially true in the summer, when opera celebrities perform at the 2,000-year-old arena.

It is about 2 hours away from Milan Cathedral by car, you can skip it if you have limited time.
It is a very local town, with a 34 A.D. Colosseum, a fine flower shop, rainy streets, walking dogs.
☔️ I heard that there is also a sculpture of Juliet and a balcony where Romeo and her have sex, but I didn't go because it rained.
