Home to everything from medieval era churches through to remnants of the Second World War, Milan’s streets are well worth exploring for a sense of the city’s age and development over time.

Getting around

Milan is a beautiful city filled with stunning architecture, making getting around on foot a spectacular experience. The city is easy to walk around and the centre is densely populated with museums, shops, restaurants and other attractions. You can also hire a bike cheaply and easily through bike sharing programme BikeMi. It’s recommended that travellers use the public transport in Milan. Trams are a great, convenient way to get around the city, as is the Metro. The Metro subway service has three lines that serve all of the main points of interest and some outer suburbs. Buses also run through the city and are a good mode of transport if you need to travel further afield.

 

Best Time to Visit

Milan has a humid subtropical climate that brings hot, balmy summers and cold, fog-filled winters. The summer months from July to September are the warmest months, with temperatures hovering around 25 to 30 degrees, however, most small business owners, shopkeepers and hoteliers take time off in August, meaning holidaymakers are likely to miss out on many of the city’s authentic local gems at this time. Visit in the spring months of April and May to take advantage of the rising temperatures, blooming flowers and Milan Fashion Week excitement. The autumn shoulder months of September and October are also a great time to visit.
