Are you an artistic individual looking for inspiration? Or are you an art historian wanting to rediscover the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo and Raphael? Or maybe a trendy chic looking for what’s hot and what’s not in the fashion industry? Then having a home exchange in one of Italy’s best cities, Milan, is a brilliant idea.
Milan is Italy’s capital, located in the Northern part of Italy. With almost 1.5 million inhabitants, Milan is known as Italy’s center for business, design, art, fashion, music, history and culture. Thanks to the Da Vinci Code, Milan has been more famous because this city is home to Leonardo da Vinci’s the Last Supper. The painting is found on the Santa Maria della Grazie monastery. As for history buffs, Castello Sforzesco is a great place to see. Originally a castle that was built in the 15th century, it now houses a variety of museums the showcases the life and culture of people from the middle ages onwards. It is recommended to make a whole day visit here. Now, if shopping is your cup of tea, then make sure you visit Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. This is the place to go if you are looking for those precious finds, whether be it souvenirs to bring back home or luxurious clothing from Italy’s most famous designers. This place houses shops such as Gucci and Prada to name a few. Shops are even open in the Sundays so you can shop here any day you want! You don’t have to worry about transportation in Milan since places are accessible via the subway system.
Getting a home exchange saves you the expenses of hotel accommodation here, plus the convenience of having a place to stay once setting foot in Milan saves you from all the hassle. Having a home exchange saves you a lot of money if you decide to make your stay a little long, and instead for paying for hotel services, you cold buy yourself a new Louis Vuitton bag to bring home instead!
