Travel to Milan, Italy
By TJ Tierney
Situated in the North of Italy, Milan is the largest
city in the province of Lombardy and second
largest city in Italy.
Milan is the business hub of Italy and a very busy
city to visit at any time of year.
Home to the Last Supper, by Leonardo da Vinci,
Milan has a rich history in art and has some of the
most priceless works of art on display in its
galleries. The art galleries of Milan also reflect the
history of the city, but be advised, if you do plan to
visit some of the galleries book in advance.
Milan’s main attraction, The Duomo is the third
largest church in the world, and took nearly 450
years to build. The construction of the Duomo
began in 1386 and was completed in 1805 by
Napoleon. This fabulous Gothic style church is a
must see for any tourist.
Built in 1386 the Castello Sforzesco is a massive
fortress located in the centre of Milan. The Sforza
has many great museums and hosts the work of
many great artists including Michelangelo.
For the sporting fans a visit to the Meazza
Stadium, better known as the San Siro should be
rewarding. This is one of the best football
stadiums in Italy. Daily visits to the San Siro are
available with access to the stadium and changing
rooms.
The winter months in Milan can be extremely cold,
while the summers are very hot and humid.
A trip north to the Alps or to the lake region is very
advisable, and should be most memorable. The
Italian rail system is excellent, and daily trips to
the lakes should not take too long. Hotel prices
vary during the year - winter being an excellent
time to visit.

Also known as one of the main fashion capitals of
Italy, Milan hosts some of the best fashion
designers in the world. Most of the main shopping
outlets are located near the city centre. Expect
very large crowds during the sales, which attract
people from all over Europe.
Milan is well suited to cater for the needs of
travellers. From the moment you arrive you will be
met with an excellent transport system, both
efficient and economical. Avoid travelling through
the streets of Milan by car if possible - traffic can
be chaotic.
Where possible it’s best to use the public transport
system. If you must use a taxi be very careful , use
official taxis, which are white or yellow in colour.
These are a lot cheaper than the private cab who
will charge you double the price.
Milan is a cosmopolitan city and offers a wide
range of restaurants. Prices vary considerably from
place to place. Restaurants are very crowded at
weekends so book in advance where possible.
Menus and prices are usually posted outside
restaurants - its also standard to leave a small tip.
The main tourist season starts in Milan during the
summer months, but this doesn’t mean that cheap
accommodation is available during the off-season.
Milan is a very busy city all year round and hotel
prices can be expensive.
