Milan set to host 2015 World Expo

An international stage where each nation puts on a show of its traditions, creativity and spirit for innovation, the World Expo 2015 will light up Milan, the European capital of fashion.

The event will make its return to Italy after almost 100 years. Milan hosted what was then called the Universal Expo in 1906.

Event organizers said tourist attractions in Milan and other regions of Italy will be on display during the expo.

They highlighted many special offers presented by the Italian regions to tourists including artistic and cultural itineraries.

They said a trip to Italy is a trip to art. The country is synonymous with art, history and culture from the most remote antiquity.

Its artistic and cultural legacies include 47 sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

"The Italian cities of art, monuments, castles, museums and historic homes are the desirable destinations for tourists to experience any time in the year," said the organizers.
