The Duomo has also some of the most wonderful stained glass windows that i have seen in any cathedral as well as some paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. however, i don't suggest going there if you are taking the kids because it is almost certain that they will run riot.

Advantages: Clean, Comfortable, Location Disadvantages: My Ears!
?s throw from the Stazione Centrale. Widely slated as one of the main - and most architecturally stunning - train stations in Europe, it can whisk you to the great Lakes of Garda and Como in well under two hours, or Venice in a little over three. In relation to sightseeing in Milan itself the Amadeus is a pleasant twenty minute stroll to the centre of Milan, and the Duomo (cathedral). If the stroll doesn?t appeal there is a tram stop outside the hotel, while the nearest Metropolitana station is at the end of the road, less than five minutes walk away. While in Milan we used a mixture of Metro and legwork to get around; the Metro is clean, prompt and cheap, with tickets purchased from any of the many newsagents and coffee shops on street corners allowing you to travel all day for just a few Euros. Unfortunately for us the hotel was ...

Sightseeing
Although the sights in Milan don?t have the pulling power of those in Rome I was still very impressed by what was on offer. Marking the city centre of Milan is the fabulous Piazza del Duomo dominated by the 14th century Gothic CathedralDuomo. Unfortunately at the time we were in Milan scaffolding covered the front façade but the structure was still very impressive from the sides. You can go inside the cathedral but make sure you are covered up ? most importantly your shoulders and legs or security will not let you in. The same applies to most religious buildings in Italy. The Piazza del Duomo is also home to the stunning Galleria Viltorio Emmanuelle a very posh, very beautiful shopping mall.
Also worth a visit is the imposing ...
