11:30 The hidden photo spot at Museo del 900
Do you want to take a picture of duomo without lots of people? Here is the best place: Museo del 900, located next to Duomo. It’s so hard to take a nice picture of duomo because there’s always a lot of people in front of Duomo. However, in this museum, there’s a big window and you can see an amazing view of duomo. So you can take a picture without crowds.

20:00 La Scala (Teatro alla scala)
It’s hard to recognize it from the outside but La Scala (Teatro alla scala) is so beautiful opera house in Milan. Beautifully decorated theater (as you can see from the picture below) has wonderful performances in the evening such as opera, ballet, and classic music. I recommend to get a ticket in advance, but you have a chance to get a ticket on the day of the performance. The ticket center is located at the metro station Duomo.
20:00 Or dinner at Temakinho
Temakinho, a Brazilian-Japanese restaurant, is good to have a photogenic dinner. It’s one of the popular sushi restaurants in Milan and it’s very trendy. The interior is very bright and colorful and sushi as well.

22:30 Galleria at night time
At night, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II looks different compared to the day time and even more beautiful since there are lights. Therefore, I recommend you to come back here at night time as well. Also, there are fewer people so it’s easier to take a picture!
