TOURING TIPS TO MILAN

TOURING TACTICS

Tourist Milan is a compact area, coinciding with the City Center, and surrounds the Piazza del Duomo. Milan is Italy's largest city and once outside of the tourist area, you may find a lot not to like. Try to reserve a hotel towards the City Center but away from the area around the Central Train Station. Many travelers spend a couple of days in Milan and then head to the Lake Country for a restful vacation.

We focus on the best places to visit in Milan. However, this city is a fashion capital and provides an incredible shopping experience. You may want to devote a day or more to ...shopping. If so, head east from the Duomo along the Corso Vittorio Emanuele and you will find yourself in shopper heaven. The main streets and side streets overflow with glamorous shops. If you are looking for high quality, fashionable clothes, this is the place. There are a number of shops where you can find a bargain, and one favorite with most shoppers is Salvagente Di Generalcom at Via Bronzetti Fratellum 16 (20129 Milano), which offers designer clothes as a significant discount (Closed Sunday and in the morning on Monday)


If you will be returning home from your vacation in Milan via Malpensa Airport, the quickest, most economical transportation is the Malpensa Express. The Express is a train that runs between the Milan Cadorna Train Station and Terminal 1 at Malpensa. The trip takes 40 minutes (the airport is 28 miles outside of Milan) and the Express runs every 30 minutes from 5:57am to 8:57 pm. Trains leave the station for the airport at 27 and 57 minutes past the hour.
