When to goApril to June or September to October for mild weather and manageable crowds; avoid Fashion Week (February and September) and Design Week (April) unless that's the draw, since hotel prices spike hard
Getting arounda fast five-line metro (around EUR2.20 for 90 minutes, covering metro, tram and bus) makes the city easy without a car; trams fill the gaps, though Milan sprawls further than first-time visitors expect
Where to stayBrera for cobbled streets, galleries and walking distance to La Scala; Navigli for canal-side aperitivo and nightlife; Porta Nuova for glass-tower design hotels near Porta Garibaldi station
