David Prior, the founder of the travel company PRIOR, shares his picks on experiencing the city's glamour in his Milan Travel Playbook.

Milan

"Milan is not the best food city in Italy, but there are a couple of restaurants that are really worth it. There's one called Trippa, which means ‘tripe.’ They do quite a lot of offal stuff, but don't let that deter you. It's got a great wine list. It’s my favorite restaurant in Milan."

"Villa Necchi [Campiglio] was inI Am LoveandHouse of Gucci.It’s an incredible house that you need to see from a design perspective."

"The Galleria is a cliché but it's where you should go first. You look up at those windows and the light coming in, and it's just magical."

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

"I like quirky stuff too. There's a big public pool called Bagni Misteriosi. It's not the most beautiful pool, but if it's a really hot day and you want to escape, that’s fun. It's also in this incredible art nouveau building, which is extraordinary."

"Salone del Mobil is the most important aesthetic week in the world, by far. Every little garage, courtyard or gallery is full of design pop-ups — all the creative spaces become activated."
