Planning your trip to Milan
Best time to visit
April to June and September to October are the most pleasant months. July and August are hot and many locally run businesses close for part of August. Fashion and design weeks fill hotels quickly, so check the calendar before booking.
How many days you need
One to two days covers the Duomo and its rooftop, the Galleria, The Last Supper and an evening in the Navigli canal district. Milan also works well as a base for day trips to Lake Como or Bergamo by train.
Getting around
The metro is fast and covers the main areas, backed up by trams and buses. The center is walkable between the Duomo, Brera and the Castello. Tickets for The Last Supper are released in limited batches and sell out well ahead, so book as early as you can.
What to skip
Vendors around the Duomo square sometimes press bracelets or birdseed into visitors' hands and then ask for money; a firm no and keeping walking is the easiest response. Cafés directly inside the Galleria charge a premium for the setting.
