|
The Hotel Zefiro is situated in the centre of Milan, in a peaceful position in the “Città Studi” university quarter, in the eastern part of the city. It is on the ring road and easily reached by car. You can get there from the Centrale Station by tram in ten minutes. There are frequent shuttle buses from the Milan "Malpensa" and "Linate" airports to the central station. Many buses and trams that go straight to Piazza Duomo and Piazza San Babila stop near this Milan hotel.
It takes only a few minutes to reach the beating heart of the city by public transport , where the grandiose, imposing Duomo rises, a treasure chest of master pieces and works of art, the construction of which took no less than four centuries (1386-1813), in the centre of an area full of monuments, of streets, of the most famous places, which is also the economic fulcrum of Milan, the busiest and most frenetic centre of the country, the very heart of national development. Your tourist itinerary can go from the Gallery, the elegant lounge of the city, to the Royal Palace, the seat of international art exhibitions, to the La Scala Opera House and the Brera Art Gallery, to the Sforzesco Castle, which all represent permanent symbols of the cultural life of Milan and of Italy.
Milan is also the capital of high fashion: from San Babila (which you can reach from the hotel by bus no. 54) wind the streets of the famous “fashion quarter”. Here, in Via Montenapoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga, Via San’Andrea and other streets, the fashion designers work, fashion shows are held, and the major casting and advertising agents have their headquarters. Via Montenapoleone, with its brilliant windows and the elegant crowds, and the showrooms of international designers, is the image itself of luxury and prestige.
The most important museum of the city is the Brera Art Gallery, which houses paintings from the thirteen hundreds up to the last century. Among the works of Italian futurism of the early nineteen hundreds, you can admire the celebrated ancient paintings, such as the absolute masterpiece of the "Dead Christ” by Mantegna (1431-1506), or the famous “Kiss” by Francesco Hayez (1819), the most reproduced work of the Italian eighteen hundreds.
