Enjoy Milan with a Rental Car

Milan’s most noted piazza is its Piazza Duomo upon which stands the Duomo, Italy’s last great Gothic structure and the fourth largest church in the world. Also located here are the Museo del Duomo and the Civic Museum of Contemporary Art. Just north of it you will find the Golden Quadrilateral, the city’s centre for high fashion.

The old residential quarter called Magenta is the place tovisit if you wish to see the city’s most venerable churches. Brera is a section of the city filled with bars and inexpensive restaurants but certainly anywhere you look you are bound to run into a café or a gelateria, both of which are highly recommended stops to treat yourself to something tasty while in Milan.

Other illustrious sights to visit are: the Castello Sforzesco, former abode of two of Milan’s most powerful families the Visconti, who built the castle in the 14th century, and the Sforza, who married into the family and eclipsed their reign. Also, not to miss, is Milan’s oldest church, the Chiesa di San Lorenzo Maggiore, and of course, a visit to Milan is not complete without evidencing some of the works of its master artist, Leonardo da Vinci. Visit the Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology to view some working scale models of his inventions on paper.

While driving your Milan discount rent a car across the city, make sure to also find the Pinacoteca Ambrosia which houses 15th to 17th century works of art from master artists like Titian, Raphael, Caravaggio and Botticelli.
