What's Milan like?

A wonderful blend of the old and the new, Milan is a must-visit location for anyone with a cultural thirst. Unlike Rome, which locals call “old Italy”, Milan is defiantly “new Italy” as the main industrial, commercial and financial center of Italy. Yet, Milan boasts dozens of some of the oldest churches in Italy, so seeing several during your visit is a must. We recommend finding a place to stay near the Duomo, Milan’s main cathedral, built in 1386. You can even climb up to the roof and enjoy the stunning views of the city. Be sure to visit Saint Mary of the Graces, home of Leonard Da Vinci’s “Last Supper” fresco. Love to shop? Milan is world famous for its shopping, and its fashion districts, so why not check out Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the mother of all shopping malls, and treat yourself to something classy? And if you’re lucky enough to be visiting during the Spring or Autumn fashion fairs, you might even catch a glimpse of a supermodel being chased by international paparazzi. Football lovers rejoice, Milan is home to two of the best teams in the world: AC Milan and Inter Milan. Both teams share the San Siro stadium, so why not book one of the many Milan hotels close to the stadium, where you can enjoy a game or two?

Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Milan

The locals in Milan are a people with a love for life, but they do have a particular way of doing things. A little know-how will go a long way during your stay in one of the many Milan hotels. We at Hotels.com have a few tips to help you enjoy your stay to the fullest. Although fashions come and go, one thing that has stayed strong in Milan is a proud traditional of great Italian home cooking. During your visit, your taste buds will go wild! To have breakfast like a true local, sit at the bar, and order a caffe espresso and a brioche. If you sit down, you will often be charged much more. And although not as famous for pizza as Naples, great pizzas can be found all over Milan, especially near Maghera Street. Although it’s very common here to eat the pizza with a knife and fork, you can use your hands if you want to. As far as tipping goes, the Italians don’t tend to leave restaurant tips anymore, so don’t feel obliged. With its humid subtropical climate, Milan tends to have hot sunny summers, so bring a hat and plenty of sunblock. If you’re visiting in the winter, it will likely be cool, so wrap up!
