"The "capital city" of Northern Italia" Milan by Mikebond
Milan Travel Guide: 2,765 reviews and 6,830 photos
Most Italians, but also many foreigners who travel to Italia, have a very negative opinion of Milano as a touristic destination. They think Milano means fashion, industry, Stock Exchange, pollution... and that should be all. According to them, the only reasons why one should travel to Milano are to go shopping or to visit some relatives. (Only Torino has a worst image to them in terms of beauty and cultural importance.)
Have you ever thought this of Milano? Have you ever avoided it while travelling southwards to Firenze, Roma, Napoli, or eastwards to Venezia? Have you?
Well, you have missed a lot! You haven't got acquaintanced to a dinamic city, a real European metropolis and a major cultural centre in the Po Valley.
- Pros:it is a dinamic city with a lot of monuments and museums
- Cons:it can be very crowded and polluted
- In a nutshell:Far more than what you have always thought of it!

I'm glad you found some things to like about Milan. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised when I visited there two years ago.
Thanks for the informations! i just booked the Hotel you suggest :-) funny General tips rìtoo, you got me laughing there!
I liked Milan when I visited 4 years ago. I didn't get in to see "The Last Supper" even then. I am surprised to see the Duomo is still under renovation!
I will visit Milan next year and I'm really looking forward to it!
Yo también oí lo mismo sobre Milán que no hay mucho que ver pero a mi me gustó mucho y espero volver algún día. Lina
WOW, Milan! Magnifico!:-) Thanks for taking me here virtually! :-)
Non solo la pinacoteca è bella.. anche l'univrsità di Brera è semplicemente stupenda.. è un altro mondo!
