The most important church is the Cathedral which is the third largest church in the world. Italy is, of course, widely known for its cuisine. However, but some cheeses that go under the radar include tasty and sometimes spicy varieties like taleggio, stracchino, gorgonzola. In general, the most important things to try in Milan (and the whole of Lombardy) include milk, cream, butter, cheese. It may sound strange, but it's true. A great majority of the classic dishes consist of milk and cream, butter, mascarpone, cheese and ricotta, even the names of the towns, such as Crema and Cremona remind you cheese. However don't think that everything's the same and tastes the same: there is a huge variety in the rich cuisine of Milan. You can also visit some interesting markets in Milan, where you can buy everything for bargains. Those markets are all time crowded but they are worth to see and to go shopping. Going to markets is the best way to meet people and know another side of the Italian life.
