Milan: Top Tips


When in Milan you MUST (must must must) visit the Duomo di Milano. Never heard of it? Nope neither had I!

I'll let you into a little secret - I love to travel BUT when going somewhere new I never find out what I should see or where I should go before arriving. Its not that I don't enjoy learning about the places I'm going, its just that I would much rather learn about my surroundings whilst they're actually surrounding me. There's something about knowing nothing about a place and then being thrown into the hustle and bustle of it that I LOVE. I guess I'm the type of person who just turns up, explores and learns whilst I'm there.

Usually when I travel I don't get much notice and this was no exception. Last month I got an email from MTV asking if I'd like to attend the EMA's. Of course I said yes and a couple of days later I landed in Milan with my suitcase and a camera. This trip was a quick one which didn't leave me much time to explore, however on Sunday morning before the EMA's I jumped in a taxi with a couple of my new friends and a guide book, kindly supplied by MTV. After a short time walking we stumbled across the Duomo. It is truly beautiful.... actually, beautiful doesn't even do this Cathedral justice.

What I loved about the Duomo was that for as little as 7 Euros you could walk the 250 steps to the very top. However if you don't want to walk, there is the option of taking the elevator which I believe was 12 Euros. From the top of the Cathedral you can see the most stunning panoramic view of Milan. It truly took my breath away. As I stood on what felt like the top of the world I thought to myself that this moment would be my favourite of the whole trip. If I didn't manage to see anything else during my trip then I wouldn't mind at all. The Duomo made my quick trip to Milan magical and I recommend it to anyone whose visiting, even if it is just for the day.


I definitely spent far too much time snapping pictures and soaking in the view, I could have stayed there for hours but soon enough it was time to head down the many steps and get back to the hotel so we could get dressed up for the EMAs. (The way down was a lottttttt easier than the way up haha!)


So, in conclusion, no matter whether you have a week, a month or a day in Milan just make sure you visit the Duomo di Milano, you will not regret it and thankfully, it won't break the bank.

Lots of Love

P.s if you happen to walk past a little shop called GROM, go in and treat yourself to an ice cream/sorbet. You just walked 500 steps. Treat yourself, you deserve it. (Its also perfect for you if you have allergies. They have allergy lists on the wall and little symbols on all of the individual containers so you can see the ingredients. Eat in peace my little allergy friends.)

  3. Milan is a city where I wish to go every leisure of my life. Milan appears to have been founded around 600 BC by the Celtic and it is still very beautiful to consume enough beauty. In this article you said that Milan is an anomaly. And it is true when it comes about the beauty Milan is the queen of beauty. To visit Milan like a local you have described all the points. But I think you have forgotten about the cost and guidance for travelers. And secure both of them you need a Milan Sightseeing Tours & Attraction Ticket. There are many companies who provide tickets where there include all renowned places like iconic Duomo, the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the La Scala Theatre and so on. I think it is a better option to explore the city safe and sound. There are many top tickets that can I advice and they are Milan: Half-Day History Tour and The Last Supper Tickets, Milan Duomo and Terraces Ticket Tickets,Best of Milan Tour and Skip-the-Line Last Supper Ticket Tickets, Milan Art Tour and Last Supper Tickets etc. They are easy to pick and also very useful if your budget is low. So choose one from http://www.tripindicator.com/tours/milan/best-last-supper-private-tour-lake-como-day-trip-duomo-terraces-tickets-open-bus-sights.html and enjoy the tour in the land of beauty.
