Milan with Kids: The Italian City We Didn't Expect to Love So Much
There are cities you visit because they're on your bucket list. And then there are cities that completely surprise you. For us, Milan was definitely the second. Before we booked our trip, we pictured a city of designer shops, fashionable Italians and busy business districts. It sounded fun for a weekend, but we weren't convinced it would be the perfect destination for a family city break. How wrong we were. Milan welcomed us with grand piazzas, beautiful architecture, streets that seemed to invite you to wander without a plan and, quite honestly, some of the best food we've ever eaten in Italy.
