Milano

Often defined as the Italian capital city for finance, education, fashion, and more, Milan is home to some of the most internationally well-known universities and to many companies headquarters.
The city is considered to be the heart of the Lombardy Region (whose GDP alone represents 21.9% of the national value), which is the first Italian region for volume and value of exchange with foreign markets.

Not just a place for business, Milan is also an important cultural hub, being the national centre of the publishing industry and the location of many art exposition centres, galleries, cultural foundations and museums.

If interested in historical sites, there's plenty to see: from the Duomo Cathedral, the Sforzesco Castle and Galleria V.Emanuele to the less central Chiaravalle Abbey or the Brera and Navigli neighbourhoods, the choices are almost endless.

Regione Lombardia 

Nestled in the north of Italy, Regione Lombardia is a vibrant blend of economic vitality, cultural heritage, and natural beauty.

Surrounding this urban tapestry is nature's masterpiece—tranquil lakes and the majestic Alps. Regione Lombardia, a captivating synthesis of prosperity, heritage, and nature, invites exploration beyond the industrial facade.

Accomodation

For the Milan WRS2024 we suggest accommodations strategically located near Milan Garibaldi or Milan Cadorna. Milan Garibaldi, a major transportation hub, ensures easy access to the city's attractions and facilitates seamless travel for summit attendees. On the other hand, Milan Cadorna offers a central location with proximity to landmarks like Sforza Castle and the picturesque Parco Sempione. Another option would be staying in Milano Bovisa area, slightly further from the city center but closer to the Politecnico di Milano campus. Here are few recommendations:
