Milan as a business center
Milan, thanks to several factors, makes it a key destination for business travelers. Firstly, it is the headquarters of the Italian Borsa Italiana stock exchange. The city is home to the largest Italian banks, insurance companies and corporations, including giants such as Pirelli, Alfa Romeo, and UniCredit.
Secondly, Milan is one of the four main centers of world fashion alongside Paris, London and New York. Milan Fashion Week attracts designers, models, photographers and journalists from all over the world. The city is home to such luxury brands as Prada, Armani, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana.
Milan is also the host of numerous international fairs and conferences, such as Salone del Mobile, the world’s largest furniture and interior design fair, MIPEL – international leather fair, MICAM – footwear fair, and BIT – International Tourism Fair.
The Fiera Milano fair complex is one of the largest in Europe and hosts more than 4,5 million visitors annually at various industry events.
Milan as a tourist destination
Although Milan is often overshadowed by such Italian cities as Rome, Florence or Venice, it offers a truly rich tourist offer. There are many beautiful monuments and museums here. The first of them is the Duomo Cathedral, a Gothic cathedral, the symbol of the city, with a rooftop terrace. Another place worth visiting is Galeria Vittorio Emanuele II, considered one of the most beautiful shopping malls in the world. We also have something for music lovers, La Scala Theater, which is the most famous opera in Italy and one of the most prestigious in the world. When it comes to museums, we recommend Pinacoteca di Brera, an art gallery with works by Raphael, Caravaggio and Mantegna, or Pinacoteca Ambrosiana with a collection of priceless manuscripts, including the Atlantic Code of Leonardo da Vinci.
Milan is also a paradise for lovers of fashion and shopping! Quadrilatero della Fashion (Golden Fashion Quadrilater) is an exclusive shopping area with boutiques of the most expensive global brands. If we do not have enough time, we can visit Corso Buenos Aires, one of the longest shopping streets in Europe with over 350 stores. Surely no one will leave without a new bag, shoes or other accessories!
Overall, Milan as Italy’s financial, industrial and cultural hub attracts both business travelers and tourists wishing to discover a new place on the map of Europe.
Thanks to the extensive network of air connections offered by Vueling, we have convenient access to this city from almost every corner of Europe. All connections can be found on the carrier’s official website: https://www.vueling.com.
Regardless of whether the purpose of our trip is a business meeting, a fashion show or a city tour – Milan is a direction that combines the best: business, culture and a unique Italian style!
