First you need self-confidence

It was my city, Milan

First, I reached a Bergamo Orio Al Serio Airport and I felt like an alone bird. In that time I didn't know the Bergamo is another city of Italy. I just supposed that it is part of Milan. For reaching Milan you need the take a bus. Attention it is Important! You need to know that nobody knows English perfectly so you can follow the instructions. When you reach Milan, you can realize the big train station of the city. It called Milano Centrale (you need to use this name for taking the train). PS : Sometimes you need to use some Italian words to find your way. So my English was getting confused, sometimes I used Italian and English words together. Don't worry. For transportation, this city is amazing because it has lots of metro lines which enables to reach every meters of Milan. If you are student, you can take a transportation card with your passport from ATM (you can find this company at the metro stations). But also you need to do some homework about taking this card, because nobody knows English in that company. If you took the transportation card, lets go for traveling around this city. It has lots of churches, monuments, museums, exhibitions and shopping areas etc.

At your first day, You need to go Duomo which is the famous church of the city in center. You can use yellow or red line of metro. Of course, everybody wants to go in and takes lots of photo so you need to take online tickets from website of church. You can pass the people line and go inside directly after the checked your bag. I can offer you to make a list for travelling this historical places or exhibitions. You can take your all tickets from internet but their original websites. You need to visit Santa Maria della grazie, Teatro alla scala, Galery of Vittorio Emanuele II, Castle, Library of Brera, Canal in Navigli, and Museum of Novecento. Before leaving Italy, you must see the Como Lake and Alps Mountains. You can reach with the train easily from Milano Centrale to there. You can travel small villages of Como. (It was perfect experience for me). And you can take your train tickets from Trainline website, sometimes they make a promotion so you can grab it. For exhibition they have lots of galleries like Hangar Bicocca and Base. You can check their websites before going there. For Shopping, lots of place around the Duomo and you can also go Serravalle Designers Outlet Center. Sometimes you can just walk around the streets for feeling their lives. After sometime, You can feel like an Italian. PS : Milan is the easy city for living because everybody comes from different parts of World.

You must eat ice-cream in Cioccolatitaliani which is near the Duomo. It was the best ice cream have I ever eat in my life. You can taste every kind of pizza in this city. Actually real Italian pizza looks like a flat bread with mozzarella and sausages, vegetables. You can try spontini pizzas, they are thick and cheap. Finally you can eat croissant and coffee (espresso) every day. I think they make the perfect croissants at everywhere. For drinking a coffee, you need to find patisserie because they don't have any take-away coffee shops like Starbucks. And you need to remember, they don't make any cappuccino after the breakfast time.

It was an amazing trip for me. I lived there for 2 months. It was my first experience in abroad. At the beginning of my trip, I tried to get used this city but then I felt like I can live everywhere of World. It is perfect city for first experience because city is safe and easy to live.

Good luck Travellers!
