Milan is the centre of the northern Italian region of Lombardy. This financial hub is Italy’s wealthiest manufacturing and commercial city.

Milan is regarded as one of the world’s most important fashion capitals, home to many famous fashion houses and hosting four fashion weeks each year. Milan has a lot more to offer, including charming tiny streets, fantastic shopping, and more undiscovered wonders. All your artistic interests will be gratified in Milan, from amazing fashion displays to an intriguing look into the world of modern art at Fondazione Prada. One of the joys of this lovely city is taking a stroll around the compact and inviting historic heart of Milan. Enjoy the renowned Milanese happy hour while relaxing in one of the lovely cafés and tiny eateries. Admire the city’s skyline from one of its chic rooftop terraces.

Where to Stay in Milan

Click below & search recommended Milan hotels/hostels/home rentals within your budget. Remember to set your min/max price, travel dates, and sort by review ratings. I often book online with these trusted booking sites below for rock-bottom prices & convenient bookings.

Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
