2025 Milan City Centre Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

sweet memories 💖 💕 💓 Milan is located in the northwest of Italy, densely populated and highly developed. According to current data, there are approximately 1.38 million residents in Milan. It can be said that it is famous for its fashion, sightseeing and architecture. It is almost a must-visit big city in Italy❗️❗️ In addition to the grandeur of Milan Cathedral, the square is full of pigeons, and many locals and tourists like to feed the pigeons. The construction of Milan Cathedral took six centuries. This shows that it took a long time to have such a majestic and beautiful building in front of us today👍👍👏👏👏 In addition to the incredibly beautiful Milan Cathedral, there is also the Corridor Vittorio Emanuele II 👍👍👍 (which is where we took pictures) Everyone who travels to Italy knows about these two locations. Such a beautiful scene appeared in the movie Willy Wonka❗️❗️❗️ There are many shopping malls, boutique streets, high-end restaurants, and all the famous brands you can think of❗️ gathered near the square. Next door to Longchamp is Rolex, and Prada and Dior can be found everywhere. If you want to see the whole of Milan and get to know it in depth, a day trip is not a problem. #poptour #Bobo clock in #Milan #Italy 🇮🇹 #Italia #travel #romanticgetaway #travelholic

Address - Via Santa Radegonda, 16, 20121 Milano MI, Italy Ambiance/Facilities - Take away only Highlights - Huge selection, warm and delicious Avg. Price per Person - €3 Rating - 4/5 Luini has the best panzerotti in Milan! It is centrally located right in the heart of Milan between the iconic Galleria Shopping Mall and Duomo Cathedral. After visiting various attractions around the area, I stopped by Luini’s to grab a quick afternoon snack. They have a huge variety of fillings from your traditional tomato and mozzarella to sweets like chocolate and cherry. I picked up the ricotta and spinach and continued my walk around the area. What a delicious and satisfying snack it was. The queue is always snakingly long but don’t be put off by that as it moves relatively fast. Do decide on what you want in advance so that the staff can quickly pack your orders. #afternoontea

#magicalxmastrip Milan in December is pure festive elegance — where high fashion meets holiday spirit in the most magical way. The city comes alive with twinkling lights, shop windows dressed to impress, and that unmistakable buzz of Christmas in the air. The heart of it all? Piazza del Duomo, where the Christmas markets unfold beneath the soaring gothic cathedral. With the Duomo lit up behind rows of wooden stalls, the whole scene feels like something out of a snow globe. There’s mulled wine in hand, the smell of roasted chestnuts and panettone in the air, and stalls filled with local crafts, festive treats, and seasonal charm. But the true showstopper? The Dior Christmas tree inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Standing beneath that glowing masterpiece — all gold, light, and luxury — while surrounded by marble floors and high-end boutiques was a moment of pure Milanese magic. It’s Christmas done the Milan way: bold, beautiful, and effortlessly stylish. With carols echoing down historic streets, fairy lights strung across Via Montenapoleone, and café windows glowing with warmth, Milan proves that it knows how to do Christmas — with heart, history, and just the right amount of glamour. #christmas #thingstodo #italytrip

During my trip to Milan, I first visited the spectacular Milan Cathedral. The exquisite carvings and magnificent spires of this Gothic building amazed me. Standing in the square and looking up, I felt like I was traveling back to the Middle Ages. Then, I went to the largest Starbucks in Milan, which has a unique design that combines local culture with modern style. I ordered a cup of specialty coffee and sat by the window, admiring the pedestrians on the street and the busy pace of life. The atmosphere here made me feel the vitality and charm of Milan, which made me linger and look forward to returning to this city full of art and fashion again. The feeling of going to Milan is really unforgettable. This city is full of art and culture, and there are stories to tell in every corner. The magnificence of Milan Cathedral amazed me. Standing there, it seems that I can feel the pulse of history. On the street, fashionable shops and cafes are intertwined, immersing people in a unique atmosphere.

I will definitely visit Milan again in future. Getting a good buy for branded.

Stayed here for one night before leaving Italy. It's very close to Buanarroti station, but there is no elevator outside the subway station, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairs. The transportation location is very close to Central and you can also walk there. It only takes 45 minutes to get to Cardona Station and take the Malpensa Express, which is very convenient. The room was simple but clean. The hotel staff are friendly and very helpful, and the breakfast is very rich.
