From Milan to Lake Como, follow in the footsteps of The Devil Wears Prada and rediscover Italy differently.

1. La Pinacoteca di Brera

The Brera district appears briefly in the film. Its cobbled streets and galleries make it one of Milan's most pleasant areas to explore. 🖼️

2. Teatro alla Scala

Piazza della Scala features in the film's night scenes. The Teatro alla Scala, one of the world's most prestigious opera houses, is well worth a visit — museum included. 🌙

3. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Where Miranda Priestly stands alone in the centre of this historic arcade. Built in 1865, it also houses the original Prada store, opened in 1913. ✨

4. Piazza del Duomo

At the heart of the film and of Milan. The Duomo's Gothic façade and the Galleria entrance both feature in several scenes. 📸

5. Lake Como

More than a backdrop — almost a character in its own right. 📮

6. Villa del Balbianello

A 16th-century villa with French gardens. Andy and Emily arrive by boat in the film, you can do the same🛶

7. Brienno & Argegno

Two peaceful villages on the western shore, featured in the film — and close to George Clooney's Villa Oleandra. 👀

A lovely coincidence in Bayeux ✨

Our Sales Expert, Salomé, happened to be in Normandy at the same time as some of her clients, so she took the opportunity to meet them in person in Bayeux.

There’s nothing quite like turning online connections into real-life conversations
Moments like these remind us how important genuine relationships are, wherever business takes us.

Your travel exeperience - Ireland 🇮🇪

Find out more about one of High Point travellers who recently returned from their trip. We truly love receiving this kind of message and photos !

Near Doolin, in Lisdoonvarna, a unique local experience : walking the Cliffs of Moher alongside majestic Irish wolfhounds — the largest dog breed in the world — while discovering the history of the area and the story behind these incredible companions.

Here's Gabby's message, recently returned from this amazing trip : "This experience with walking with Irish wolf hounds at the cliffs of Moher was very unique and something I will never forget! The owners Alan and Lisa were very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the cliffs and it was interesting and educational to listen to. The dogs they brought were very friendly, majestic, and well-behaved and were certainly popular with everyone at the park lol (lots of pictures from other people, you feel like a celebrity!). I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves dogs and wants to learn more about the captivating history of the Irish Wolfhound and their importance in Ireland’s history!"

Thank you so much for your trust — it means everything to us to be part of your journey and to create these moments with you.
