Milan in $580s-$600s RT

Milan is the perfect starting point for Northern Italy adventures, but don't be in too much of a rush to get out of the city.

After all, you don't want to miss out on Milan's spooky ossuaries, secret listening spots, and centuries-old artwork. I mean, at least see The Last Supper! It's a classic for a reason!

Most importantly, you have to get a taste of Milanese cuisine before you go traipsing off into the mountains. Honestly, that iconic saffron risotto is worth the price of your ticket just by itself, and that's before even touching on ossobuco, panettone, and all the other mouthwatering dishes you've just gotta try.

I'd go on, but I'm starting to get hungry.
