Getting Around
Metro
Milan's Metro costs €2.00 per ride and operates from 5:30am to 12:30am, connecting major attractions like Duomo and Sforza Castle. For a bargain, buy a 10-ride carnet for €18.00—perfect for stretching your budget while exploring the city!
On Foot
Milan’s pedestrian-friendly areas like the Centro Storico are free to explore, making it easy to discover gems like the Duomo or Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II; just wear comfortable shoes for the cobblestone streets. Pro tip: take the scenic route down Via Montenapoleone to enjoy high-end shops and avoid pedestrian congestion, especially during weekends.

Today, we finally made it to the event, even in the evening's dim light. In the daylight, I think it looks even more beautiful! »
When I flew to Milan, I was prepared for the possibility that it might not be to my liking, as many of my friends had told me their opinions. After some soul-searching, I tried to understand where this perception might come from. To me, it seemed like Milan might not hit the mark, primarily because:
🤷♀️ You expect to see the typical Italy, yet most of it feels more like a bustling city vibe than, say, something you'd find in a picturesque spot like Paris. You don’t see narrow streets or charming old houses, which can make it feel less quaint.
🤷♀️ I wasn’t ready to splurge on experiences. The "just wander around" strategy isn’t the most effective here. You’ll find yourself wandering through shops, but it’s a bit tricky to find something truly unique.
And La Scala—art galleries nearby—they’re just beautiful! »
I can't bring myself to shop from stores where the fashion looks like it's just hanging with no flair or understanding of how to combine pieces. It's hard to pick something out in a place where a million things are just standing around... 🛍️👗🧥🍀🍀🍀
Yesterday, wandering around Milan, I discovered some small boutiques, cozy eateries, and shop windows that showcased unique items. It's all about focusing on one or two pieces and not trying to show everything at once. 🏆 I understand that Italians simply showcase their expertise in this way 🏆, and if you love their style, they'll pick pieces that resonate with you! For me, this is really valuable, and I hope that similar approaches become more common in my area! 🤖
Wishing everyone a wonderful day and glorious sunny vibes!!! 🤖 »
The Dumo collection in this non-season undergoes restoration, but no matter how immense it is, this architectural masterpiece remains unaffected. 😊
Italy is my favorite country, for its architecture, for little coffee shops in the mornings, for the smiling passersby, for shopping, for the atmosphere, and oh that sunshine. 😏
Leave me here. I am not healing, I don't want to go to the airport, I don't want to leave, I choose to stay here! 😍 »
It's not so bad here in Europe! My favorite "homeless-chic" style 😄, and the open expression of emotions really adds to the overall vibe of the place.
Even with a bit of chaos, I'll definitely be taking some memories back with me when I return to my hometown. It's all just a pleasant smile away 😅. »
For anyone who hasn't been to Italy yet, I highly recommend visiting this country! You might not fall in love with it at first sight, but its undeniable charm will surely captivate you!!!
Italy, I'm coming for you soon... 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 »
And let's not forget about the food! From delicious pizza to heavenly pasta, every bite is a delight. 🍝🍕 Don’t forget to try the famous Panettone if you're there during the holidays – it’s a must!
In short, Milan balances tradition with modern flair, making it an unforgettable destination for any traveler. ❤️ »
➕ The viewing platform at the Duomo⛪➕
📅 After visiting the Duomo, don't rush to the next attraction in Milan. Be sure to head up to the legendary rooftop. This is one of the best viewpoints in the city.
They say, on a good weather day, you can even see the Alps from there!⛰️🌌
📅 Unlike many other cathedrals, the entrance to the rooftop of the Duomo is paid. However, going up on foot is significantly cheaper.
For those ready to tackle the 500-step climb, it's worth taking the stairs from the main entrance of the cathedral, turning right to walk along the side wall.
For those who prefer the lift, you'll need to reach the altar area, meaning you’ll have to go through the opposite entrance to the cathedral.
📅 Visiting the rooftop of the Duomo is definitely worth it, especially since you can see a total of 3,400 statues, 135 spires, 96 gargoyles, and 156 statues, enhancing the cathedral experience beyond words.
And once you find yourself on the rooftop – well, put simply – you will fall into a real forest of countless columns, climbing, spires, and statues.
The impressions are unbeatable – you won't find anything like it on any other rooftop in the world! »
