A Hedonist's guide to Milan
Italy's fashion and party capital. Splash out on world-class shopping in the quadrilatero d'oro (fashion's square mile and the equivalent of five Bond Streets); luxuriate in fashion designer spas; join the sophisticated Milanese for aperitivo (a city-wide ritual of 'happy food' at happy hour) while deliberating on dinner options of endless chic fashion/friendly famiglia restaurants; then dance it off in the company of international models and footballers in Milan's hi-energy club scene.
