We loved getting lost in the busy marketplaces, sipping espresso on charming streetside cafes and shopping up a storm in designer stores. In case you need more ideas – here are just a few of our favorite things to do in Milan!

Enjoy window shopping or pop into the store, just be prepared for some eye-watering pricetag’s. The coffee, however, is affordable and makes for sublime people watching.


Milan is great city. I would need to write a book to cover most (probably not all) attractions in this city. It all depends on your personal preferences and interests. I hope that post could provide you with some ideas. Or maybe trigger your curiosity?

Whatever you do – stay safe and enjoy your travel.
