Markets of Milan!

Sadly my Florentine adventure is coming to and end and this weekend was my last time leaving the city. A few of my roommates and I decided to take one final trip to Milan to see a little more of Italy for the Christmas markets! Italy takes Christmas super seriously and markets like the one in Milan pop up everywhere, but Milan definitely takes Christmas to a whole new level. We started our day in true Italian fashion by taking the Italo train, better known as the Ferrari train! The main Christmas market of Milan is located by the Basilica di Sant' Ambrogio, and that was our first stop of the day!

After taking a quick peak at this church, built in the late 1000s, we headed to the Festa Patronale di Sant' Ambrogio, the main Christmas market in Milan, with hundreds of stalls and everything you could ever need for the holidays! Before actually finding the markets we ran into Liz's cafe and of course my roommate Lizzie and I had to take a picture!

After this quick stop we finally made it to the Market! We were starving and decided to grab some fresh arancini (rice balls) for lunch!

After wandering through the market we decided to take a trip to see Milan's duomo in the center of the city. Not only did we get to see the cathedral, but their tree as well!

There was another market around the duomo, so we stopped to check that one out to!

These markets had everything from fur to food from all over Italy and everything in between, you could spend hours looking at everything they had to offer, and that's exactly what we did! It started getting dark so we headed back to the Train station. On the way we ran into yet another Christmas market and this one was French!

After a long last adventure in Milan we hopped back on the train and headed back to Firenze, for our final week in Italia!
