Milan Cathedral, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and La Scala sit on one walk, and the western edge reaches Santa Maria delle Grazie and Sant'Ambrogio.
Come on the first morning, while the cathedral square is still walkable. In the evening the gallery stays lit and the courtyards are shut.
A fair base if you want the cathedral outside the door. It is loud into the night. The suitcase can stay here.

The cathedral terraces have their own queue, separate from the nave, and it is usually the longer one. The Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie is booked ahead; you do not walk in off the street.
