Even if you abhor strolling through churches, it's time to bow to the will of others in your party who can't get enough of them. This is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and worth seeing. Construction began in 1386, but it took another 500 years to finish the building, probably because architects had to build 135 towers and commission 3,200 statues to embellish the place. While you're there, take in all of the attractions on the cathedral campus especially the museums.
Not everyone is an opera buff, but a visit to LaScala is mandatory when visiting Milan even if your listening preferences begin and end with Kylie Minogue and Keith Urban. This historic opera house is open for tours daily between 9:00 a.m. and 17:30 p.m. Rare exhibits of paintings, sculptures and instruments are fascinating to see. Would you like to see a performance?

The world famous work of art resides at the 15th Century Santa Maria della Grazie, a holy building that was completely bombed during World War II, yet the painting escaped without a scratch.

What happens when the curator of a small church like San Bernardino all Ossa runs out of places to bury the bones of congregants? A little creative decorating. Church officials decided to regale the small chapel, located within the 13th century church, with human bones and not an eyebrow was raised, which is how this popular tourist spot came to be. It costs nothing to see the Bone Church, but donations are gratefully accepted.
