Tips for accommodation in Milan. How to choose the location of the hotel?
If you have arrived in Milan and are interested, first and foremost, in its sights, then it is best to stay in the city center. For example, the Centro Storico area is perfect—this is where all the city’s main attractions are located. However, it should be noted that this is also the most expensive area in Milan.
Bohemian tourists passionate about contemporary art can choose Via Brera. Here you will find many antique shops, stores for painters, galleries, and more.
If you are heading to Milan to have a good time and enjoy yourself, then the Porta Venezia area is the most suitable for you. Here you will find plenty of bars and other venues where young people hang out. And for fashion lovers, this area is perfect because it has an entire shopping street called Corso Buenos Aires. There are many stores where you can buy clothing from well-known brands, including those with worldwide fame.
The Navigli area is ideal for those who love nightlife, while the Porta Nuovo area is good for families with children.

Milan guide
Milan is the second-largest city in Italy, located in the Lombardy region. It consists of nine districts. Milan is known worldwide as a city where all fashion trends are born and progress.
There is an opinion that the best time to go to Milan is in spring, because during this period the air temperature here is ideal for walking - there is no extreme heat and there are few tourists. The summer period is the peak of the tourist season, and the air temperature reaches +29 degrees Celsius.
Many people come to Milan in autumn, when it is still quite warm here and there are not so many tourists on the streets. Milan is not particularly popular among travelers in winter; however, we recommend coming here for the Christmas holidays.
Speaking about what a tourist should do in Milan, of course, first of all we need to mention the many shops offering fashion items, hits of the season, etc., but besides these, the city also has historical sights that are of real interest.
Attractions we recommend seeing in Milan: the Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), the Sforzesco Castle, the National Museum of Science and Technology “Leonardo da Vinci”, the Brera Gallery, the Ambrosiana Gallery, the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, the opera theatre “La Rock”, a sculpture depicting a hand showing the middle finger (why not).
Milan is also famous for its restaurants, where you can taste both traditional dishes and unusual ones. We recommend you step into a Milanese restaurant and try panzerotti - a closed pizza, as visitors often call it, and which is a kind of culinary symbol of the city of Milan. Treat yourself to local ice cream; there are at least fifty different types here.

Do I need a visa to travel to Milan (Italy)?
Milan is in Italy, part of the Schengen Area. Travellers with biometric passports from Moldova, Romania and Ukraine can usually visit for short tourist stays without a visa, while citizens of other countries may need a Schengen visa, so we recommend checking the latest entry requirements before booking your trip.

What board basis is best for a city break in Milan?

What can I do in Milan if it rains?
On rainy days you can focus on museums and galleries, visit the Duomo, explore the covered Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, spend time shopping in malls or simply enjoy cosy cafés and restaurants. A bit of rain is actually ideal for culture and shopping.
