Best Airbnbs in Milan for a cultured stay in the Italian capital

Visiting anywhere in Italy all but guarantees a wonderful holiday, but Milan’s unique mix of colourful neighbourhoods makes it a consistent favourite for discerning travellers. This sprawling metropolis is a cultural hub, famous for being the country’s fashion capital, birthplace of aperitivo and home of two top-tier football clubs. The crown jewel, however, is its magnificent Duomo, one of the world’s largest cathedrals, taking over 600 years to build. Don’t miss the kilometre-long Corso Venezia, which is a chic high street that puts the best of Milan’s shopping on display. Refuel after a busy day of sightseeing and retail therapy with our guide to the best pizza spots in Milan.

Along with its impressive architecture, Milan is also home to a thriving design industry, which leaves you spoilt for choice when it comes to glamorous accommodation. In recent years, some swish new hotels in Milan have arrived on the scene, and a planned Six Senses is opening for 2025. But for a more laidback trip, look to the city’s selection of charming homestays.
