Advantages: Cultural - steeped in history & heritage
Disadvantages: Lack of investment

...of bells, and a tower that boasts the best, most breathtaking views of the city. The majesty of the Cathedral is up there with some of Europes most famed Cathedrals, namely, Canterbury, The Duomo in Milan, Notre Dame in Paris, and Gaudi in Barcelona. - THE METROPLITAN CATHEDRAL - Liverpool's 2nd Cathedral is the Roman Catholic Cathedral, known locally and affectionately as "Paddy's Wig-wam", due to it's American Tepee style and large Irish heritage. It has a very unique circular design, with chapels circling the periphery of the structure. Of the two Cathedrals, this was the one that captured by imagination more as a child on school excursions, partly because the oddity of it's shape but also because of the rainbow coloured stain-glass windows. The Cathedral's choir has a reputation as one of the finest in the UK, as it has a very large... Read review

Advantages: Shopping!
Disadvantages: Italian men on a major "charm" offensive & you will come back broke

...a confirmation page and call / email the day before you arrive and everything runs like clockwork! 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 Cathedral Duomo. Unfortunately at the time we were in Milan scaffolding covered the front façade but the structure was still very impressive from the sides.

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... Read review
