Milan

When to go

Spring and early autumn are particularly good for walks. Summer can become hot, while museums and galleries fit well into winter plans.

Things to see and do

Visit Milan Cathedral and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, walk through Brera and Navigli, and allow time for an art museum.

Practical tips

Popular museums and The Last Supper often require early reservations. The historic centre is easily explored on foot and by metro.

Getting there and getting around

Milan is served by Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo airports. The city has a metro, trams and suburban trains.

Where to stay

Centro Storico is convenient for a first trip. Brera suits cafés and galleries, while Navigli is popular for nightlife and canal-side walks.

What to try

Try risotto alla milanese, cotoletta alla milanese, panettone and northern Italian cuisine.
