Milan Family City Breaks - Accessible art and history
There is no where quite like Milan, a city that simply oozes style and street cred. It has long been a hangout for style gurus and discerning clubbers and families with young children in tow will find plenty of captivating attractions too. A Milan family city break will find an abundance of child friendly museums, theme parks and entertainment. First stop is likely to be the gargantuan Duomo cathedral, one of the true wonders of Christendom. Anyone with even a passing interest in history should definitely tour Sforza Castle where a whole day can be spent in its 12 separate museum spaces covering art and artefacts from every era. Even children with absolutely no cultural leanings cannot fail to be captivated by a night of searing opera at the spectacular La Scala - an unmissable experience for all.
