Is there much to do in Milan apart from shopping ?

Co Cheese - Thankyou your input has been invaluable ; )

There's a lot to do, never been myself but a lot of my mates have, and if they didn't like it there they wouldn't have gone there several time.
lots of awesome architecture, great culture, history, food, music, party, fashion and I can go on and on.........

Milan is one of the major artistic centres of northern Italy. Its chief landmarks include:

The Duomo, the second largest church in Italy and world's third, and the world's largest collection of marble statues with the widely visible golden Madonna statue on top of the spire, la Madunina (little Madonna), the symbol of Milan.
Teatro alla Scala. Milan is also one of the most important centres in the world for Opera lirica, with his famous Teatro alla Scala (La Scala).
The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a large, covered arcade linking the Duomo's piazza with the Teatro alla Scala.
The Castello Sforzesco
The Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio
The Palaeo-Christian Basilica of San Lorenzo
The Biblioteca Ambrosiana, containing drawings and notebooks by Leonardo da Vinci among its vast holdings of books, manuscripts, and drawings, and is one of the main repositories of European culture. The city is also the home of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.
The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which houses one of the most famous paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, The Last Supper (L'ultima cena or Il cenacolo).
The church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro, with a famous trompe l'oeil traditionally ascribed to Bramante
The Pinacoteca di Brera, Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Poldi Pezzoli, the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum and the Musei del Castello galleries, which host a great number of pictorial masterpieces
The Cimitero Monumentale di Milano.

I was stuck in Malpensa on a stop-over to the middle east. It's the most awful airport for entertainment. My advice, take sleeping pills or something to numb the pain.

eat pizza

it's 15 mins by foot from "piazza duomo"
it's a massive art gallery/ pictures exposition..

Secret is held in the magnificient dungeons of an ancient Milanese palace, in via M. Pagano, 19.

A maze of vaulted rooms where you can find both art pieces and sexy and mysterious machineries, a dancefloor and a confessional within which to expiate your sins, a great bar and very private alcoves鈥?br>
The sound design developed by Djs from the consoles of the best-known International fetish parties gives the salons a unique atmosphere, to make the night even more special.

Well, when I was there... No. The only other thing than shopping was the Art.
