[Travel] Milan recommendations please

[seagullwedgee]

Restaurants. Cocktail bars. Things to do/see. Things to avoid. Good city walking routes. Just the city please, not the lakes etc.

Thank you.

San Siro is a good stadium tour

L'isola del tesoro is an amazing seafood restaurant with great wines and very reasonable prices. I always go when in town for work.

Don’t touch anything of the guys walking round selling tat unless you plan on buying it. If you are with a female they will target her unfortunately for them when we went she was the one telling them to f*** off! And if you pay to have a walk round the duomo I highly recommend the extra €5-7 to walk around the roof tops

Is that a recommendation for cats?

Thank you, ladies & gents.

Prepare to be amazed when you see special brew on tap in some of the bars.

Most disappointing city I have ever been to. Heard loads of hype about it before I went but found it boring. Hardly any places to eat during the day except the really expensive tourist area.

A great indicator of the power of marketing.

Well seeing as it's 'supposed to be a compliment', I was gonna try binning them all off racially when i'm over there and see how I get on.

Avoid the area around the main train station, I know station areas are generally a collection area for low lifes but Milan was a different level scum everywhere.

Probably my least favourite city in Italy and I’ve spent a lot of time over there. Milan just doesn’t have that ‘old city ‘ hub in it. The Navigli area is ok and of course the Duomo is magnificent but if you put up ‘Things to do’ in a city and the football stadium comes up 4th ....... well.
Of course if one likes shopping.

I worked there for a while. the Navigli canal was my favourite area, lots of bars and restuarants.

Thank you people. Tonight in Navigli, cocktails at Strainer, dinner at El Brellin. 3 lads are at the Slavia Prague game.
Tomorrow strolling around duomo and arty stuff.
Tomorrow night private dinner in Navigli hosted by a chef couple, got very lucky with this one, found it on Airbnb experiences.
Thursday trip to Como, cruise on the lake to Bellagio and Varenna.

The Last Supper is a MUST. it is slowly disappearing into the wall it was painted on. However, you must book as it is so popular. When I saw it many, many years ago you could just walk off the street. Not now though.
