Transport

A visit to the National Science  and Technology Museum with every people-carrier between the ocean floor and the stratosphere present.  Steam is my thing.

Central station today, where 'high speed' trains come and go. Only in Italy

Milan has a very comfortably wide underground, powered by overhead cables.

Older systems include canals, this the Grande Canal reached Milan in 1238.  Most of the network has been built over, sadly, with only this short stretch navigable.  Very lively at night, apparently.

 Courtyard areas for the art, and a very nice restaurant we found here.

A short walk up the Corsi di Porta Ticinese from the canal basin to Basilica San Lorenzo.  The guide book says that, although oft-ignored "it is difficult not be bowled over by the jumble of towers, lodges, apes and domes".  I have to agree, throw out the aesthetics rule book, why not?
