How look life in Milan :
Milan city is so crowded with locals and also so many tourists visit it, it has so many cars and really good bus transportation, and I liked that they have special ways for bikes. When I was there, were the days of a festival, then a lot of people were dancing in the streets. Milan is like a city of Fashion, it's easy to know if someone is a tourist or from Milan because locals are following trends of Fashion, they look like famous Stars
This huge city deserves to be visited, it's a city which doesn’t sleep, and have so many entertainment places, and historical Areas. I regret that I spent just one day there. During nights, people go out to celebrate in all weekdays, because they like to have fun and there are always so many tourists, but during the day, they look so busy with their woks, you feel that they are running.

Accomodation :
I found a cheap Hostel, it was 15 € per night per person, but it was a little bite far from the city centre, conditions were good, reception was open from 8 am to 11 pm so if you come back late at night there is nobody to open the hostel door for you.
The reception guy was helpful, he gave me the MAP of Milan, and showed me all important places that I must visit because I had just one day, and also showed me busses I must take

Transport :
Milan city has good transport connections, with metro, so many lines of busses, taxis and the busses are also working during the night, for me, I firstly went from Bergamo airport to Milan by bus, then I took another bus to the Hostel, then I visited some important places in the city walking.

Food and drinks :
Gastronomy in Milan is varied, but I tried just a PIZZA during the lunch time from a street food seller, they have a lot of sweets and an amazing ice cream (I recommend to try the ice cream with Pistacia Taste), there are so many restaurants but the price is high for Students.


How much money I spend in one day in Milan ?
Including the accommodation, food, Transport, coffee and visiting the most important places, I spent around 60 €.


Places which i visited in Milan :
Because I didn’t have so much time ( just one day) I didn’t visit so many places, i went to Milan cathedral where I spent a lot of time because it’s a wonderful old cathedral and on the inside of it there is a museum. Also, it’s possible to visit the top of the cathedral, which have an amazing view (you can see Alp Mountains from there if it’s a sunny day). I visited also Piazza del Duomo, Sforza Castle, Parco Sempione, Porta Sempione, Triennale and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which is a huge mall having shops of the most expensive fashion brands.
