After three nights in Montreaux on Lake Geneva, we stopped in Milan for lunch on our way to Lake Como. Although our stop in Milan would only last three hours, we needed lunch anyway and it was hard to resist trying to photograph the Milan Cathedral when it was so close to the train station.
We hopped in a taxi and the driver dropped us at the Galleria, which is a famous covered shopping mall that we walked through to see the big reveal of the Cathedral. The reveal did not disappoint! The Cathedral, which is located on the central square in Milan, is in amazingly good condition for being in such a busy city. I figured it would look a bit more road-worn Iike the Duomo in Florence but it was not. The marble facade, which is covered to a dazzling degree with decoration, was so clean it almost looked new. The square that the Cathedral sits on is enormous, was full of people, and had the classic laid-back ambiance that is wonderful about Italy. The day was also bright and sunny, making it the perfect setting to enjoy our panini sandwiches for lunch.
