Milan, Italy - This option is for those who have a long layover at the Milan Malpensa Airport. You enjoy a short driving tour of Milan to see the Cathedral, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, La Scala Opera House and Sforza Castle.

After meeting your English speaking driver at the airport you drive (about 1 hour) into the historical heart of Milan where the major sites are located. Your first photo stop is the largest gothic cathedral in the world. The Milan Cathedral, or Duomo, dominates the main square and it dates from 1418.

Nearby you have the chance to walk through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. This was the first and still the finest glass covered shopping street in the world, dating back to 1865. Milan stands shoulder to shoulder with Paris as the undisputed capitol of fashion. Stores feature designer goods that are an essential point of reference for those privileged travelers who want to keep their finger on the pulse of world-class trends. Maybe your budget does not allow you to do some shopping here but you still want to see what is trendy in the world today.

Next you see the La Scala Opera House. The opera house opened in 1778 and is one of Italy's top historic opera houses.

Your last stop today is Milan's castle, known as the Castello Sforzesco and dating back to 1300. The castle is located right in the city center and it's courtyards are one of the city's parks so you are free to take a stroll through it.

You driver will bring you back to the airport at the end of your tour.
