Milan

A working fashion-and-finance city that treats lunch as sacred and tourists mostly as an afterthought.

Milan doesn't perform for visitors the way Rome or Florence do — the best trattorie are workhorses in residential blocks, not stops on a walking tour, and the city rewards showing up hungry rather than sightseeing first.
