A pleasant 10 minute walk from Piazza San Babila and the Duomo, right in the center of Milan, the fashion capital of the world. Enjoy the city: shopping, business and leisure are just steps away. To get to San Babila from Hotel Atena, walk down Corso Monforte, for your first glimpse of showrooms and boutiques. From here you are right near Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga and Via Manzoni for the toniest shopping. Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Corso Buenos Aires are definitely more informal for more affordable but just as chic purchases! Between one window and the next you'll find yourself in Piazza Duomo, home to the monumental cathedral that is the symbol of Milan with its spectacular facade full of spires and incredible sculptures. From here we suggest you take the traditional tour of the artistic and cultural highlights of the center of Milan which should be visited at least once. So, stroll down Via Brera, with its eighteenth century buildings. The pinacoteca is at number 28, the most important gallery of Milan with masterpieces by Raphael, Piero della Francesca and many others. Leaving here head to Piazza della Scala to see the world renowned music temple, Teatro alla Scala, better known simply as La Scala. Opening Night is held each year in December and is one of the coolest events of Italian and Milanese high society life.A little off the beaten path, but definitely not to be missed is the Last Supper, called il Cenacolo in Italian, the only fresco of the great Leonardo da Vinci. At night, in the center of Milan (zone 1, where Hotel Atena is located) there are countless things to do: bars and restaurants of all culinary persuasions, movie theaters around Corso Vittorio Emanuele, discos and theaters and all types of music in the numerous clubs. Start in one of the many spots near the hotel in Zone 1 with a traditional Milan Aperitif, with plenty of cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, dine on the most traditional Milan dish, Risotto cooked with saffron called Risotto alla Milanese, and then head for the night spots, by taxi or on one of the many public means of transportation which you can find near the hotel. The metro (the red line number 1) is in Piazza Venezia, the trams and buses are in Piazza Tricolore.
