[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to be the contrarian and endorse the day in Milan. You are flying out of Milan so need to be there anyway. We spent a couple of days in Milan over Christmas a couple of years ago -- our favorite activities were the Duomo (especially the roof) and DaVinci's Last Supper, plus the amazing risotto we had at a small restaurant along the Navigli canal. Armani/Silos was closed while we were there, but my teen would have been interested in going had it been open. Two breathtaking cultural sites, eating and wandering the shops around Navigli, and a fashion museum sounds like a good day to me.

OTOH, if you are flying out of Milan only because you want to spend a day there, I would depart from somewhere else (Venice, presumably?) and spend those two days elsewhere in your itinerary.

Finally, my then-15-year-old really enjoyed Florence -- particularly used record shops/vintage shops in Oltrarno Arno, the Mercato Centrale and the flea market around it, and sunset at Pizzale Michaelangelo. We spent a morning with a local photographer doing a photography walk with Polaroid cameras -- it was part walking tour, part shooting tips and the photographs were my favorite memento of the trip. I wish I had dragged her with me to Dante's house, since she ended up reading Inferno in school the following year. None of these things might appeal to your tweens but sharing in case they do.
