Hey friends — if you want all my Milan recs, here’s the free guide I made for you: bit.ly/Milan-Guide-Camden
Moving to Milan this month and I didn’t know about Orsonero, thanks for the rec! 😁
Great info! We're looking at staying in Navigli for 2 nights. I found this video quite helpful!
Milanese here: Milan is not like the rest of Italy, you just have to get this. It's a city apart, the bigger metropolitan area, the wealthier city and the most international one. It's like a small NY or London ( i mean, smaller). But you can feel the same vibes. Milan confront itslef with other big cities in the World, not with other italian cities.
Visit Rome for history.. i mean, you MUST visit Rome. But visit Milan for contemporary Italy.
Im going to pursue my master's degree from Milan. Thanks for this video, very informative.
ChatGPT says to skip Milan. I understand. Too many places, no time to waste. So skip it
: try to avoid tourists
: proceed to suggest every tourist spots
Thank you so much. Loving your videos. If you had to choose one would you choose Milan or Florence? I Have watched your video on Florence and it seems a bit smaller and more my vibe but wanted to hear what you thought? Probably will be just a couple day trip to Italy from the south of France.
Et si on n’a pas envie d’utiliser le téléphone pour le métro ?
you're amazing.
Hi Dave, many compliments for your video about Milan city, actually the best ever seen so far !!! I'm now curious to see those for other cities considering your videos as the 'reference guide' 😊 Pls also thanks Sarah
I'm going to visit Milan this month. Good tips, thanks. But where can I find €5 pizza, €6 lasagne, and €3 spaghetti in Milan??? Haha
My biggest regret is that I stayed in the center of the city too much. I did go up the Duomo on the elevator. Everything you said is 100% correct. Take your time before you meet up with the rest of the crowd. I did go to see the last supper. I bought my ticket maybe a month before my trip in May. If tickets are not available when you will be there, check every day (especially 2-3 weeks prior to arrival). Some tickets will come available but, they go fast.
Another Duomo tip: try to climb on a clear day: you will see beautiful mountains
Do check other districts, Ortica for example. Good vibes there
Near the Duomo visit San Bernardino alla Ossa (Saint Bernard at Bones), where wall are decorated with the skulls and bones of the victims of XVII century plague epidemic. Visit piazza Sant' Alessandro, a few steps from Via Torino. Sant Celso and Santa Maria twin churches, lovely garden. San Cristoforo on the Naviglio Channel, so beautiful, san Satiro for its trompe l'oeil painted by Bramante, San Maurizio for its fresco, chiusa dell'Incoronata weir designed by Leonardo Da Vinci, Last Supper by Leonardo. So much for those who state there is no historic site in Milan 🤣
Museum are free on first Sunday of every month, but almost everywhere.
You give good tips. A spot in Milan that's almost never mentioned is the Science and Technology Museum (''Museo della Scienza e della Tecnica''), near the historic Church of St. Ambrose (built 1099 ! ). If you have time, the museum (and the church) is worth a visit; it's very large.
Is it hard to say what museum you are talking about around 5:40? You say "this museum" and then a small map…
5:40 Pinacoteca di Brera! A must-see museum imo. Some exhibits had cool things like a swatch of fabric (do touch!) that the dress in the painting would've been made out of. You can walk around the courtyard pictured and up to the perimeter of the second floor without paying. There is a cute coffee shop up there too.
Vi consiglio la Pasticceria Marchesi (dal 1824) in corso Magenta. Dolci squisiti e splendido ambiente
Those trams are legendary. Made in 1928 and still running today. They're a Milan specialty and some other cities started using the same type of trams
The best way to love Italy is to learn how to speak italiano !!!
ALL RESTAURANTS IN ITALY ARE GREAT … DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THE POPULAR ONES !!!
"Michelin Star" sounds so americano !!!
If you see a Michelin star ⭐ … Lol stay away !!! High prices and crowded …. this guy is not intelligente !!!
Bravo!! I am a guide in Milan
Milan a fashionable city Lovee ❤
Thanks very much for this very useful guide.I'll be in Milan in 3 weeks & this is perfect! Luckily I booked the Last Supper a few weeks ago!😊
