8 Hours in Milan

Last Saturday, I took the high-speed train to Milan and spent 8 hours exploring the center. I climbed to the top of the Duomo, Milan's cathedral and the fourth largest in the world, had a yummy lunch and browsed Milan's Quadrilatero d'Oro.

I even took my 3 turns for good luck, like many other tourists. On the floor of the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele, there is a mosaic of the coat of arms of Turin (the bull). A local tradition (or tourist hype) says that if you put your right heel on the testicles of the bull and turn yourself three times, this will bring you good luck. There is quite the hole worn in the tile housing the bull's testicles. Lots of people trying to get lucky:)
