Milan Travel and Things to Do Guide
Milan is known worldwide as the capital of Italian fashion and regionally as the capital of Italian finance, but those are not the only industries that fuel this highly energized capital: Television, sports, telecommunications, and research are all key revenue sectors, all of which generate business for Milan MICE venues.
Most international visitors will touch down at the Milano Malpensa (MPX), although European attendees may enter through Milano Linate (LIN) city airport or the low-cost airline airport, Bergamo (BGY). These are all within a 45-minute drive to the city.
Milan MICE venues include two of the largest convention and exhibition centers in Italy and Europe: Fiera Milano, with 345,000 square meters of meeting and exhibition space and MiCo - Milano Convention Center, which can accommodate up to 21,000 seats within its 70 + rooms.
The city provides over 43,000 rooms which allow us to accomodate large international events such as Salone del Mobile, hosting up to 500,000 visitors each year.
Milano offers many world-famous historical landmarks, institutions and art masterpieces such as The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, the Duomo Cathedral, La Scala Theatre, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele (designed in 1861 and is considered the world's first shopping mall), Sforza Castle, surrounded by Parco Sempione, the incredible Fashion District (Quadrilatero della Moda) with its luxury boutiques, and many others.
