Christmas in Milan

 Milano's cathedral is my personal favourite. It is so, so beautiful and despite now seeing it regularly, it never fails to bring a smile of appreciation whenever you see it springing up (when you have a sense of direction like mine, it does actually spring up in what appears to be the strangest places!)


Piazza del duomo contains the cathedral and the beautiful gallery. It is a huge square, filled with tourists happily eating ice creams and taking selfies. For December, it welcomes Christmas markets and a huge Christmas tree. There is a lovely atmosphere. Milano's decoration were stunning. Gorgeous lights, lit up trams and an annual Advent Calendar.

Swarovski Christmas tree-love it!

Inside the Galleria
Damjan and I went to see the Advent Calendar on the 21st. The windows opened and out came 21 brass musicians who played Christmas carols for half an hour. It was so lovely! Next year I want to go again at the beginning of December as well, to really compare and see the orchestra building up.


Check out this awesome tram! Who says public transport isn't exciting?!
