Day trip to Turin
Another new Italian destination for this semester: Turin (called Torino in Italian). We booked the trip last Wednesday and went there yesterday, Friday. We thought Torino was one of the cities we had to go to this semester since it’s not so far from Milan, and many of...

Day-trip to Bergamo
One of my day-trip from my first semester of Erasmus was to Bergamo, a city quite close to Milan. I went there by train, and from Milano Centrale (the main train station of Milan), it only takes about 30 minutes to get there: it’s really not so far! If you are...

Day trip to Varenna & Bellagio
Today I want to write about the trip that I did just yesterday to the Como Lake (yes again: I can’t get enough of this place, it's so beautiful! ), and more precisely to the villages of Varenna and Bellagio. It was not my first time going to the Como Lake, but it was...

CityLife Park
I went to the CityLife Park today to enjoy the sunshine after this cold winter and I felt like writing a small post about this it to let you know more about this place and show you some pictures. It’s a pretty new and very nice and green place in Milan, a little...

Day trip to Venice
Last semester, in October, I went on a day-trip to Venice (Venezia in Italian). This city is known in the whole world to be one of the prettiest and most romantic cities, and I really wanted to visit it during my Erasmus. As soon as we got the opportunity, we booked the...

Weekend in Florence

Trip to Genoa
While we were on the train to go and visit the villages of Cinque Terre, our train went through a city that seemed to be very pretty, even if I saw it only for like 5 minutes (you can imagine how pretty it must be to make you want to come back specifically to visit...

Day trip to Lago di Como
The North of Italy, and more precisely the part of Milan and its surroundings, is often called the “region of lakes”. This is because there are quite a few lakes around here, including the three biggest Italian lakes, that are all close to one another: Lago di...

Most frequently asked questions about life in Milan
Source As I get quite a few questions from people who could possibly be interested in living in Milan or just coming here to visit, I thought I would make a post with my answers to these questions and to let other people who may not have the chance of knowing somebody...

Day trip to Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre had been one of my dream destinations for years. Even just last year, I was thinking that it would take years for me to be able to go to this place. Little did I know that I was going to go for an Erasmus in Milan, Italy and that Cinque Terre is really...

What to see (and do) in Milan
As it is a big city (the second biggest in Italy! ), Milan offers many things to see. Whether you like historical monuments or modern buildings, being surrounded by a crowd of people or having your space to wander, there will be something for you to do and appreciate in...

Christmas time in Milan
I wanted to make a special post specifically dedicated to Christmas decorations in Milan while we are still (more or less) in the spirit of it, because they are absolutely beautiful (in my opinion of course, but I think many other people in the city share it). You can...
