Terrific article Kate. Makes you want to book a flight and hotel room right away!

If you want to view the Last Supper, you have to book months in advance.

Avoid April when the price of Hotel rooms can double because the Furniture exhibition is on.

Metro tickets cost about €2 and are valid for 90 minutes and can be used on trams and buses too. Buy a few in advance from a tobacconist so you have them in your pocket when you need them.

Many local shops still close for lunch between 12.30pm and 3.30pm and cash is often the preferred method of payment in smaller shops and restaurants.

Last tip. Travel with a refillable water bottle. You can replenish it at any of the city’s 500 water fountains.

I just had the most lovely day in Milan, all thanks to this guide. This is such a great list of things to see and do -- thank you!
