Part 4/7:
As one of Italy's priciest cities, Milan can be expensive. Accommodations fill up quickly, especially during events such as Fashion Week. It’s advisable to book your stay well in advance and consider neighborhoods away from the city center that still offer easy public transport access.
Don’t Neglect Public Transportation
Taking advantage of the Metro system is highly recommended. It’s a fast, efficient way to get around the city—far quicker and often cheaper than taxi rides. Walking between major sites, such as from Central Station to the Duomo, can take significantly longer.
Don’t Forget About The Weather
Milan's weather can be unpredictable, with showers appearing suddenly, particularly in summer. Be prepared with an umbrella or jacket to stay comfortable throughout your visit.
