Pick up a quick breakfast or coffee at Peck, the gourmet deli near the Duomo. Arriving early ensures you avoid the midday rush and can browse the high-quality local produce at a leisurely pace.

Walk to the Duomo piazza. At this time, the white marble facade is bathed in soft morning light, offering the best chance for clear photos before the square fills with tourists. You can admire the massive Gothic confection free of charge from the outside.

Head inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele to Savini for lunch. This historic restaurant has been serving Milanese staples like risotto and cutlets since 1867. The setting inside the magnificent 19th-century mall is as impressive as the food.
