artman from Finland wrote about Bus to Malpensa airport one year, 3 months ago

The cheapest way to get to Malpensa airport (5€). Close to the convention centre.

arttu76hates Milan because it's too hot in the summer and there's nothing to see except "Cimitero Monumentale" (which is great, though)

Good restaurants are in the area called "Borgo Ticino" just outside the oldest part of the city. Try to avoid downtown restaurants. 25euro is the norm for a decent dinner.

For some really nice seafood, try restaurant Mediterranea.

psalmi from Finland wrote about Hotel Pierre Milano one year, 5 months ago

Hotel Pierre Milano is a smallish hotel quite near to center of Milano. While it doesn't quite match with all the luxury hotel chains, you have to give them points for attempting their best.

Lobby is beautiful and if you know any italian you can read local newspapers there. Cable channels are also free, but we didn't manage to figure out if there was a free wifi connection.

This place is one of the most tranquil and tasteful hotels right in the center of Milan. The service is supurb and I couldn't recommend it more.

Milan was just a starting point; quick stop here before train took us to Venice. The food here was surprisingly good. We chose to eat in a trendy cafe by the station where airport line ended and had really excellent meals both.

psalmi from Finland wrote about Milan 10 months, 3 weeks ago

Our vacation continued back to where we came from - Milan, Italy. This time flew the short distance from Vienna to Milan with a cheap airline owned by former Austrian F1 driver Niki Lauda. I would be amazed if it's still operating after the current recession, so bad was the service and everything during the flight.

Milan was a big disappointment anyway. La Scala was closed, Gallery (in the picture) expensive and we tired after a week of city holiday. Unfortunately we learned only now that Venice had its international film festival going on - of course we should've be there instead of Milan; we originally made the choice because both had seen Venice enough.

Now we have seen enough Milan, too.

nicholasloves Milan because Modern and Ancient at the same time

tina2loves Milan because I liked the culture.

kikkaloves Cimitero Monumentale because there are a lot of impressive statues of the family graves. It seems like a lot of rich people have died in Milan.

kikkaloves Navigli because It's one of the rare places you can see water in Milan. More "old town" feeling than elsewhere in the city.

kikkaloves Corso Di Porta Ticinese because there should be nice vintage and ethnic type shops

janne0loves Milan because la scala ...

arttu76loves Cimitero Monumentale because it's the best place in Milan (ok, that isn't much, but it really is a must see)

arttu76 from Finland wrote about Cimitero Monumentale 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Absolutely the best place in Milan. You might think it's just another cemetery, or that cemeteries are not interesting, but trust me: this place is simply superb!
