Culturally, fashionably and socially Milan is undoubtedly one of Europe's most charming and one of Italy's most vibrant cities.
The most famous designers on the globe have their headquarters here and the shopping streets of Milan attract the bold and the beautiful from every corner of the earth. But it's not all fashion and haute couture, Milan has all the style and cultural pedigree you'd expect of an Italian city, and its streets are lined with trees and art treasures.
Milan though didn't get its reputation for being Italy's most dynamic city just off the strength of its artworks. The city is very much forward thinking, and, while the Italians might only joke that the Milanese aren't really Italian, it's not that hard to believe.
The city is a lot less pedestrian than Rome and Venice, and its inhabitants are more energetic than those of other Italian cities. In the day the loafing around is left very much to the tourists and it's only in the evening that the Milanese themselves let their hair down or, more accurately, coiffure it up.When they do indulge in leisure the Milanese take it seriously, which in Milan means looking good. There is nowhere better in the world for people watching and picking up fashion tips as the most elegant people in Italy stroll in the piazzas and the cafés fill up with the well-dressed denizens of the city.If you don't leave Milan more cultured, more refined and discernibly better dressed than you arrived then maybe you should consider staying a little bit longer - and that's no bad thing.

Even among Italy's cities Florence is something special, rising from the beautiful landscape of Tuscany as a living piece of history. Even the most ordinary street or building is a work of art in itself and demonstrates the simple classical beauty that defined the Renaissance. Everywhere you turn you'll see works by Michelangelo, Donatello, Brunelleschi and any number of Masters of Italy's Golden Age.

It is in the museums and galleries of the city that most of Florence's treasures are concentrated. The city's major institutions might not rival museums such as the Louvre in terms of size but in terms of quality they are paralleled by few places in the world. However, rich as Florence's art collections are, one single piece shines above all others - Michelangelo's David.

It's no exaggeration to say that the sculpture is the focus of the entire city, its simple majesty never failing to move even the casual observer. Carved by the artist when he was just 29 years old the statue is among the world's most incredible artworks.

But even amidst this wealth of culture it is impossible to forget that Florence is a living city as well - the piazzas are full of fashionable boutiques and ever more fashionable people, and the café is still central to Florence social life. In the evening the city lights up and its squares and streets are thronged with visitors and locals taking their "passeggiata" as the denizens of the city have done for thousands of years.
