Solo travel experience

I think it was a good city to solo travel to, my host was very nice and she took me to hidden spots around the city. There were some sketchy guys sometimes but overall it was a safe experience, and the city that time of the year was amazing.

Solo travel experience

I didn't like Milan. It's just a really boring city, other than the cathedral there's nothing to do unless you like fashion and spending money.

Local experience

It's a pretty safe place to visit (obviously it depends from the areas) and very clean! The metro is the best way of transportation in my opinion, the are a tons of them till midnight and it brings you basically everywhere there are things to see fast. It is pretty busy and safe, but pay attention and keep your belonings safe from pickpokets because there are many of them! Avoid eating near tourists attractions (like Duomo or Castello) better and cheaper restaurants are probably just a few minutes away with public transport

ShoestringDoes anyone know cheaper hotel brands in Italy not on usual booking websites?

I’m thinking of going Milan next week but hotels seem really expensive. Does anyone know cheaper hotel brands in Italy? That maybe wouldn’t be on the usual booking websites.
