They used to (and still might) do wicked international nightys of a Wednesday. Turn up early in order to get food and drink cheaper. Don't bother with beers, go for the killer cocktails.

When you go in the church, and look over the altar, you see 12 metres with columns... instead Bramante use only 1 metre (0.98 cm) and beautiful optical illusion!!! If you bring near you have a strange visual... try! ^^ *CASTELLO SFORZESCO* From Duomo you go in via Dante, and you can see the tower of the castle of Milan.
