The city on the Lombardy plains is beautiful, dynamic and very well dressed. It’s a financial centre, a city of the arts, a sporting town and a world-famous fashion capital. Like other cities in Italy – Rome, Florence, Venice – one almost falls over the art works, the churches, museums and statues.
The spiky-spired, statue-laden cathedral (Duomo) occupies a central position in Milan – the streets fan out from there. No less impressive – a different type of church perhaps – is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. This enormous shopping mall is home to the likes of Gucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton.
The fashion district takes in Via Montenapoleone, Via Sant’Andrea, Via della Spiga and Via Manzoni – all high-end. Milan is where several designers started out including Armani, Missoni, Valentino, Versace and Prada.
The other Milanese passion is football. Milan is home to two football teams – Inter FC and AC Milan. The San Siro is one of the temples of football.
With three airports in the vicinity – Malpensa, Linate and Orio al Serio Airport near Bergamo – searching for cheap flights to Milan is no hard task.
Summers are hot and muggy, especially in July and August with temperatures reaching the 30s (Celsius). Milan is damp and cold in winter with temperatures below freezing, but the mountains protect the city from the Northern European winters. Spring and autumn temperatures are in the teens and 20s. October and November typically get the most rain.
Between walking and using the city’s efficient public transport system, you won’t have any trouble getting around Milan. The buses and trams run all night long and the metro stops at midnight. Buy tickets at Metropolitana Milanese (MM) stations and some newspaper stands, but be aware that the tickets expire. Stamp your ticket when you board; failure to do so can cost you a huge fine.
Taxis have to be picked up at stands, and you will be charged extra for luggage, late night trips and Sunday rides. Driving is not recommended. There are many one-way streets and reckless drivers and few parking spots. If you must drive, leave the car at an MM station outside the city.
