Milan is not a tourist wonderland like Rome, but the city is attractive, extremely rich in art collections, and has a good selection of tourist sights to keep you busy.
Milan tourist highlights begin with the magnificent, gleaming white Duomo.This immense Gothic cathedral took 500 years to complete, and reflects the change of fashions in a surreal mixture of architectural styles. A trip up to the roof is an unmissable experience; you can sunbathe among the marble pinnacles and enjoy a spectacular view as far as the Alps.
Next to Piazza del Duomo is the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, an elegant nineteenth century glass-covered shopping arcade, where you can enjoy a coffee while watching the stylish Milanese parade by. (Rub your feet on the genitals of the bull in the central mosaic for good luck). A tragic story is attached to the Galleria; the architect Giuseppe Mengoni died the day before it was opened, falling from the roof.
Milan is rich in art galleries, and highlights include the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana (artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio and Raphael), and the superb Pinacoteca di Brera, which contains works by Italy's greatest masters. Highlights include Mantegna's foreshortened Christ.
Other notable sights of Milan include Leonardo's Last Supper, in the church of Santa Maria della Grazie (you must book in advance), the row of Roman columns outside the church of San Lorenzo and the mighty Castello Sforzesco. As well as a nice grassy courtyard where you can rest, this business-like fortress now contains a number of museums, one of which (the Museo d'Arte Antica) contains Michaelangelo's strange last work, Rondanini Pieta, which he worked on for nine years without completing.

The best thing you can do is after one day in Milan is get out of town. It is a big, noisy, crazy city. IMHO, see the main points of the city and then go to Florence or Rome or East to the Dolomites and hit Venice. I always have to chuckle when people say they are going to Milan. It sounds much more romantic than it really is. This is one of my least favorite places in Italy and all of Europe. Turin is just as bad. Sorry to be so negative, but it is the truth.
