Awful
City has next to nothing to offer and is a huge disappointment as the fashion capital of the world. It's dirty, run down and expensive. If you go there I suggest stopping for a few hours on your way elsewhere.
Said to be of Celtic origin, Milan has just as much culture and history as Italy's capital but without the emphasis. It is both the fashion and economic capital of Italy. Having been conquered by the Romans in 222BC, both cultures have left their mark on the city.

Amazing city, is really beautiful, with a lot of thing to do, the duomo is huge and beatiful, i strongly recommend it is one of the italian cities that u have to visit
It has a big city feel but still very italian and old. The train station (Milano Centrale) is amazing, the metro is also very nice . The Duomo is the biggest church in Italy and its just breathtaking, its actually the only thing we visited because we stayed here for just one day
Insider Tip:Get a map and walk. Also shopping is great.
very nice city, got a quick tour by my friend. i did not get a chance to see the city as i was trying to win back my ex-girlfriend in trento ;P
Insider Tip:dont know
The city doesn´t has too much things to see regarding monuments. But it has life. You can sit in the park behind the castle or go shopping. We were in Milan in sunday, and there was a group of people playing music in the park. Then we went shopping to high level shops, and the prices were amazing!

Forgotten by too many travellers when visiting Italy as it is more commonly known for its fashion and rather than its culture, Milan is somewhere you should stick on your itinerary. Granted, it can be slightly more brazen than other Italian cities, but it also has some breathtaking architecture and intriguing museums.
