Santa Maria delle Grazie
MM51***89It was difficult to buy tickets, but Ctrip was very helpful. The original Last Supper is very famous, and the site is well protected. It is worth seeing. There were not many people in line, and the entrance and exit were very ceremonial, with gates opening one by one in an orderly manner. The atmosphere was very solemn
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
EE22***09The location is very good, many luxury stores, there are many delicious foods nearby, but there are many people, and locals will eat, drink and play nearby. It’s a must-have place in Milan, I went three times even if I didn’t buy things.
Sforza Castle

Teatro alla Scala
喜喜悦旅途Our Le10 gross ticket seats are on the top floor, and the XNo View is very worthy of the name. The stage is completely invisible, and we can only see the beautiful big chandelier of La Scala Opera House* We still learned in the second row of seats, first People in the first row of seats can lean over and stick their heads out of the railing to see, but the second row can really only be used for listening.
However, you can stand up and watch C9 in the aisle, or walk to the middle to watch the stage. Maybe this is why this 10 cent ticket is called a standing ticket.
The opera (L'Orontea) we listened to lasted a total of *3h23min* (it was too long and I didn't finish it). Every 48 minutes there was an intermission of 25 minutes. The rest time was the time for people in formal attire to socialize together. Wine tasting and chat in a dedicated area”Y.
The performance is in Italian, and there is a small screen in front of your seat to read the subtitles. You can choose Chinese or English, and English will be more accurate.
