The Excelsior Hotel Gallia has an excellent location,
overlooking one of Milan's most characteristic squares, Piazza Duca d'Aosta
which is only a short drive from the city's cultural and financial center.
Convenient for travelers, tourists and businessmen, the hotel is close to the
central railway station (Stazione Centrale) and the airport terminal.
The city centre is only 20 minutes walking distance from the Hotel. Its many
attractions include the Teatra alla Scala, which dates back to 1778. The
Pinacoteca di Brera, founded by Napoleon, contains works of art by Italian
artists, as well as displaying many Venetian and Lombard masterpieces and works
by Rubens and Rembrandt. Milan is also home to Santa Maria delle Grazie and Il
Cenacolo Vinciano (The Last Supper by Leonardo de Vinci). The Duomo and the
Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle II are favourite meeting places of the Milanese and
the Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga are two of the most famous streets in
Milan with numerous designer shops. Ten minutes by taxi is the Sant Amrogio
Basilica built in 386 AD.
For a wider perspective of the region, the sea at Liguria, the mountains (the
Alps) and the lakes Como and Garda are one hour's drive away.
