Travelling to a new country: mission accomplished!

in #travelfeed5 years ago

Since a few years back, I placed as a life goal to visit a new country every year. Knowing a new place is my minimum, if a new country ends up being difficult; and this year, I barely made it. But taking advantage of my last vacations of the year... new country: check!

And yeah, Il Duomo, the well know cathedral of Milan, is as impressive as I was told! Italy is so close to my home country, but my travels never took me here, until now! Milan will be my starting point, and I plan to explore all around. Starting by this cool city, of course! And visiting in this season has a few bonus.

Although we're almost entering the new year, there's still part of the Christmas mood, and we can still find the Christmas markets selling all sorts of goods. Not that the city lacks shopping opportunities year round...

The famous Gallerias were crowded; given the beautiful architecture, it's a must see, even if shopping is not your thing (as me!)

I prefer to wonder through the city, enjoying the mood. You always find cool things to see, like this street art.

This one was near a church, on corso di porta ticinese.

As golden hour was approaching, even the normal city buildings looked great!

And one of the things i liked seeing the most? Navigli district!

This part of the city has canals, and some of the streets are bordered with cafes and restaurants, where you can grab an apperitivo in a romantic atmosphere. And if you are travelling alone... enjoy the show!

If you like photography, the photo opportunities here, especially at this hour, are simply amazing!

What? No wildlife photos in @pardinus post? Very unusual :D

Great shots ;) And I love your plan to visit at least one new country every year!

Ahahah true, there's a kind of different wildlife here! 😉 will spend a few days in the Italian lakes. Saw wild goats today, but they were faster than my camera. Happy New Year!

Feliz Ano Novo para você também :)

Great photos, I love the street artwork! 😊

I've been there... 15 years ago. How time flies. 🙄

Thank you for the support! 🙂👍

I love the Duomo! You went at a perfect time for fewer crowds than in the summer! Your pictures are great and I am not sure it was you without a goat or a sheep or something!

I look forward to more Italian architecture! Have a splendid New Year there!
