I found plenty to see in Milan. The Duomo, the Castello Sforzesco, an array of museums, galleries, exhibitions. I stayed 2 weeks in Milan, and still didn't have time to see everything. I advise anyone planning to visit Milan to allow at least 5 days if they want to see the majority of the sights. Book Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper painting viewing well in advance (before your trip). Plenty of shops, fashion outlets, parks, gardens. I went to the Planetarium too. There's also the San Siro Football Stadium.
