>>1 week
>What to do in milANO
leave
Duomo, Castello Sforzesco, Pinacoteca di Brera, stroll in the Navigli
Thanks
I’m there for work mostly but I’ve got afternoons/evenings free
milan can be seen by a tourist in 24 hours, it's not florence or rome or venice
no fricking idea what you're going to do there for a week
Why is Venice in that list
Because Venice is a world treasure that can keep anyone moderately intersted in architecture and art busy for months.
Unless you're one of those trash tourists just landed from some poverty collector like cruise ships and low-cost airlines and just want to visit San Marco because "you have to", when in fact you could be dropped in Trieste, Padova or even the fake Venice in Las Vegas and wouldn't be able to tell the difference as long as they serve spagmeatballs and souvenirs made in China
It's funny how all the tourists in Venice immediately disappear once you leave San Marco and Rialto.
I know anon, I was in Venice during peak madness Carnival and it's absolutely insane how you go from narrow streets where it's physically impossible to walk around to entire chunks of the city where there's not one single tourist around. Tourists are sheep.
in milan, you don't feed the ducks, you feed the nutria
don't feed them, kill them. they ruin the river banks and they're not native anyway
Leave because Milano is a shithole.
Hey op, spaghetti here
Milan is a big international city but it's not a really important touristic destination. It's the economic capital of Italy and always has been since the early 1800s, but it was a rather unimportant place during the Roman times/ reinassance and so on, so there isn't that much to do compared to other Italian cities like Venice, Rome, Florence and so on. That's why spending an entire week in Milan may sound too much, but fear not because you still can do a lot of things.
> Last supper
Book in advance or there's no way you can see it.
> castello Sforzesco
> Duomo di Milano
Definitely the must see in Milan, since you're into history you should book a visit of the rooftop to check the incredible details and enjoy the view
> Navigli
Lots and lots of bars, locals, places for spritz and aperitivo, good place to go for nightlife.
> Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
Next to the duomo
> pinacoteca di Brera
In case you miss the last supper. Plenty of cool stuff.
>Scala theatre
One of the most important and beautiful theatres in Italy
> Piazza Gae Aulenti and Bosco Verticale
The new neighborhood in Milan, with design skyscrapers and cool buildings. If you're into these things, I live in a small town so when I went there I thought it was impressive
> Cimitero Monumentale
While the idea of visiting a cemetery doesn't sound inviting, this one is worth a visit. Also it's free iirc
And that's it I guess. A good thing of Milan is that it's extremely weel connected from every other city in north Italy, so if you're bored you take a high speed train for Florence, Bologna, Turin or even Venice for a day trip. Or if you don't want yo go far away, check Monza.
Good guide, i just wanted to add that you need to try Panzerotti behind the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, theyre the best, look for the queue.
Also Milan is good as a hub for seeing other smaller cities in a near vicinity.
Go to Bergamo
Go to the lakes
Yes, that's good advice too, Bergamo and the surroundings deserves a visit.

And just eat as much as possible. Milano isn't the nicest Italian city by any measure, but the food is still pretty Italian and fresh.
Clubbing was fun, too, but you have to dress up. It's not as lookist as eg. Korea and the dress code isn't nearly as strict as it would be in some exlusive clubs in London, but it's still very much lookist at clubs in Milan. So look up the dress code if you're gonna go clubbing.
im not a smoker
but many italian girls smoke socially, it seems to be the easiest ice breaker - asking for a light or whatever, then they see you are western english speaker.. the ones into that will be interested
Might work. But your bet bet would be to make friends with other tourists or foreigners.
im a bit of a boomer now, but there used to be erasmus parties - more during the university semesters, cater to foreign exchange students, but the italians that like english and tourists also attended
On top of what everyone else said, do a bus tour to lake como. It only cost a $100 for an entire day and it was well worth it. Milan was my favorite city in Italy that I went to tbh. Part of the reason was it wasn't overrun with tourists. Majority of the people you run into are Italians, except the major tourist hotspots. Probably also why it has the nicest people because they aren't sick of tourists yet. Venice had the rudest, which in someways is weird because most of their economy also runs on tourism
>Visit the Duomo, including the underground crypt and the roof
>Get an aperitivo in one of the rooftop terraces nearby said Duomo (like the ones on top of the Rinascente mall) and larp as a richgay for a couple of hours
>Sforza Castle
>Cimitero Monumentale
>Brera gallery
>Navigli
>more drinks at Corso Como/Piazza Gae Aulenti and more larping
Dress well (Milan is the place where people judge you for that) and coom into art hoes/femboys or whatever you're into, Milan is full of them
Don't go but if you have to at least visit the Brera.
