Groupon's Guide To Milan
A magnet for designers, artists, photographers, and models, Milan is one of the world's fashion centers, boasting an elegant backdrop rooted in Roman times.
From its imposing historic centre and fashion districts to the countryside outskirts, Milan is a rare and appealing mixture of ancient values and contemporary lifestyle. The Navigli area features an abundance of restaurants, ranging from pizzerias to fine seafood haunts, while Piazza del Duomo, boasting the Milan Cathedral, one of the largest cathedrals in the world, guarding the city’s cobblestoned streets since 1385, opens to shops, theatres, museums, and galleries in the city centre. Big fashion names can be found in the Corso Buenos Aires or Corso Vercelli, and cultural sights are plentiful, including attractions such as the Sforza Castle. Art lovers will rejoice at the chance to take in Italian art from the 14th century to modern times at Pinacoteca di Brera. Milan has a humid subtropical climate with hot days in summer and humid rather cold days in winter. During summer, the temperatures are expected to be around 21°C, and sometimes, a sudden rain accompanied by thunderstorms will thrill the cityscape. Spring and autumn come with moderate weather conditions when the nights will be colder than the days, and rainy moments will be frequent. Winter knocks at the door with temperatures around 7°C, but the sun won't shine like in the previous months.
Groupon's Guide To Chur
Chur, Switzerland's oldest city, boasts a rich tapestry of demographics and cultures. With a predominantly German-speaking population, it's a hub of diversity, hosting significant Italian, Albanian, and Turkish communities.

Chur's historic old town, adorned with medieval buildings, invites exploration, while nearby alpine landscapes offer outdoor adventures. Its vibrant mix of heritage and modernity makes Chur a captivating destination.
Groupon's Guide To Zürich

Stroll through the Viadukt, a unique shopping arcade built into old railway arches, or explore the cutting-edge art at Löwenbräukunst. Don’t miss Frau Gerolds Garten, a lively urban garden for drinks and local bites, or the iconic Prime Tower for sweeping city views. With Technopark and Hardplatz nearby for easy connections, and the Limmat river offering relaxing riverside walks, Zürich blends modern energy with local creativity, making it a dynamic base for exploring the city.
