The gleaming modern Milan north of the centre — skyscrapers, the plant-clad Bosco Verticale towers, and the buzzy former working-class Isola quarter beside it, full of design shops and bars. Sleek and well-connected, with a young, moneyed energy; the base for those who want the city's futuristic face.

- 9.Bosco Verticale & Porta Nuova — The 'Vertical Forest' — a pair of residential towers clad in 20,000 trees and shrubs, the icon of Milan's futuristic new business district around the Piazza Gae Aulenti. A striking symbol of the city's modern face; wander the sleek plazas beneath the skyscrapers, a world from the old centre.
- 12.San Siro Stadium — One of the great cathedrals of football — the vast, spiralling-ramped stadium shared by the fierce rivals AC Milan and Inter. Take the tour and museum by day, or, for an electric night, get a ticket to a match and feel 75,000 tifosi in full voice. A must for any football fan.
