Hi ALL!!! What do you think about Milan? In my opinion, Milan is very stylish city. I went to Milan on a 5 day visit in August 2005. This was my first visit to Milan and I had a great time there. I stayed at excellent hotel in the center city, which I found on the 1st-milan-hotels.com web page. I got to walk on the roof of the Duomo and saw all the way to the mountains. On Via Montenapoleone I found a lot of prestigious boutiques. Milan is the city where the world famous italian design is born and still lives: you'll find here not only the glamorous fashion showrooms, but the history of industrial design (Artemide and Flos lamps, Kartell furniture, Alessi kitchenware...and many others). And if you like such kind of thing, April is a wonderful month: with the Furniture Fair all the city is open for designers exibitions and happenings. There are hundreds and hundreds of bars, lounge bars, wine bars, pubs, cafes, bistros, wine cellars, live music bars and lots of others besides. So what?

Welcome to FG, Trav!

Yeah, Milan, its alright, but its no Florence. Anyway, everthing in Northern Italy is fantastic, you can't go wrong round there.

Me and my son went to see Springsteen in Milan in June. Beautiful place but the food is very expensive. Very good underground system too but it stopped running just after midnight

Welcome traveler. Look forward to hearing more about your travels.

I agree with Galbally if you want to travel go to Italy especially Florence it is so charming. I have made several trips to Florence with my family, my Brotherinlaw Nanny was from Florence... Treat yourself travel Italy especially the northern side, you will enjoy every moment..!!

Expensive to eat....try the out of sight little bars, pizza places and small restaurants. You know its good when there is no tourist's menu out the front and its full of locals. Great food and well priced.
