Milan is a world centre of business and high fashion, and has a wealth of attractions that shed light on its long and eventful history. Founded in 222 BCE by the Romans, it was ideally placed for trade and commerce, and rose to prominence during the European Renaissance. The Visconti and Sforza dynasties were great patrons of the arts, and many of the city’s treasures date from their times. Today, Milan is famous for its designer shopping, cultural activities, and gastronomic pleasures. At its heart stands the great medieval cathedral and other top attractions include Teatro alla Scala and Castello Sforzesco.

Tourist attractions
Milan’s museums house collections of international importance. The best are located in the Pinacoteca di Brera, which can be compared with the greats such as the Louvre in Paris and Madrid's El Prado. The museum is home to Italy’s finest classical art collection, including "The Kiss" by Francesco Hayez. Other must-see museums and galleries include the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, and the Societa' per le Belle Arti ed Esposizione Permanente for more contemporary art and sculpture.
The Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology is a fascinating and interactive museum that looks a little more closely at some of the great man’s scientific inventions and ideas. For opera lovers, the obvious destination has to be La Scala Theatre, one of the world’s most important venues for classical opera. A strangely beautiful attraction is the Art Nouveau cemetery of Cimitero Monumentale, which is filled with lavish sculptures and is effectively the largest open-air Art Nouveau museum in the world.
The Cinque Vie historical district is Milan’s ancient heart, and is where the Roman city grew up. It’s also home to some of the city’s most exclusive boutique shopping, and plenty of espresso bars to keep you refreshed and fuelled up for a busy day’s sightseeing.
Travel Considerations
Flights to Milan with Qatar Airways land at Malpensa Airport, the city’s international airport. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Milan please check the visa and passport requirements.
Flying from Mahé, Seychelles
Located around 12 kilometres southeast of the capital, Seychelles International Airport is the main entry and departure point for international air travellers in Mahé, a flourishing paradise island which continues to receive increasing numbers of travellers throughout the years.
Passengers flying from Mahé will find this to be a warm and friendly airport, with attentive staff dedicated to making the start of your journey stress-free and easy.
Transportation and parking
The easiest way to get to the airport is by taxi. Be aware that at night, many taxi services levy a surcharge, so if you are catching an evening flight you will need to factor that into your costs.
Buses run every 20-30 minutes throughout the day from the capital’s centre to the airport, and most hotels will provide a limousine service for VIP guests.
Parking at the airport is extremely limited due to space restrictions, so the most practical solution is to make alternative arrangements and travel to the airport by taxi or bus.
Arriving at Mahé
Passengers flying from Mahé with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal’s Departure hall. As the airport is relatively small, it is quite easy to find your way around and check-in procedures are quite quick.
Security checks, however, are thorough and lengthy, so allow around an hour to an hour and a half to check-in and clear customs.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities are adequate, although somewhat limited due to the size of the airport. A restaurant serves food during the day and into the early evening, while coffee bars provide light snacks and beverages.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal. It is recommended that you avoid taking photographs while at the airport, due to the operational military base located at the southern end of the runway.
