For many Olympic travelers, Milan will be home base—and PBS Dream of Italy host Kathy McCabe believes that’s exactly how the city should be experienced. “Milan is Italy’s capital of fashion, design and business, but it also offers a delightful array of neighborhoods and culinary traditions,” she says.
“Beyond the runways and showrooms, Milan is defined by aperitivo and cafe culture and a strong sense of everyday Italian city life that rewards travelers who linger.” Rather than treating the city as a place to sleep between events, she encourages visitors to slow down and take part in the daily rituals. “This is a city where daily habits matter just as much as landmarks,” McCabe says.
