DON'T BOTHER..........

I work in the Garment District in NYC and have been going to Milan twice a year for the past 10 years on business. I have seen the Duomo, walked the Piazza attended La Scala, all which were enjoyable. However, that said, I find the city congested, cramped and rather dull. It's a banking city first and foremost and you are hard pressed to find the beautiful boulevards and green spaces of other European cities. Since I'm stuck there twice a year, I'm usually taking Ryan Air ( out of Orio e Serio) ... Read Full Review | Report This

Milano not for first time visitors

Milano has a milky white quality to the air that perpetually hangs over the city in a sick hazy pall. It is basically an industrialized megalopolis occupying a valley that traps the smog over the city for days. Prices in Milano for just about anything are tres cher. For the first time visitor to Italy, try to avoid Malpensa Airport at all costs, and definitely avoid Alitalia at any cost. A better way to see Italy is to fly into Roma and then depart for Tuscany as soon as possible. Rent a local ... Read Full Review | Report This

Wonderful, friendly Italy is too large a country to see in one visit. A first timer would probably desire to see mid-country: Rome, Florence, Pisa and maybe Venic, or the south: Amalfi, Capri, Naples (Pompei) and Sorrento. This being my fourth visit to Italy, after doing the south, mid-country and Sicily separately, we decided to fly into Milan and concentrate on the region called Emilia Romagna which included the towns of Parma, Modena, Bolgna and Rimini, and the independent country of San M ...

Milan is very urban and very smoggy with a lot of traffic. There are cars, motorcycles, and mopeds zipping everywhere just like the cliche about Italians driving around a rotary. That being said, this city is well worth visiting just for the food, shopping, and hospitality. There are cleaner, more picturesque places in Italy, like the Alps or Lake Maggiore, but I have been to those places and nobody has been as warm and as welcoming to this American traveller as the Milanese. Everybody I encount ... Read Full Review | Report This
