Milan is an exciting but expensive city (especially compared to other Italian cities). I stayed here for just 2 days, but I managed to walk around almost the entire city… and spend nearly all my money 😅 My three-star hotel near the central train station cost a little over €100 per night! 📍Places I managed to visit: 1. Duomo di Milano – it’s better to buy your ticket online. I recommend taking the stairs instead of the elevator — there are usually no queues. 2. Pinacoteca di Brera 3. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II 4. Navigli district 5. Eataly and Bosco Verticale 6. Castello Sforzesco 7. Starbucks Reserve Roastery: prices are higher than in regular cafés, but the interior is really interesting. 🚇How to get around the city: Public transport isn’t very cheap either. A daily metro ticket costs around €3. Overall, I recommend exploring the city center on foot to truly experience the beauty of Milan! #localguides #historicallandmarks #familytrip #europetrip #milan #italy #scenicspotguide #europe
