Milan
With Milan’s wickedly arresting architectural projects, quirky sights around town, and splashy fashion scene, you’d think it’s all about appearance here. In a way, it is, although the city doesn’t stop to preen; there’s too much to do and see here to take a breather. Milan’s quick, intense tempo only mellows by sundown, when the people crowd the latest happenings or one of the stylish bars. Or maybe not.
