Milan is an ideal destination for a short city break. The food is delicious, with plenty of great Italian restaurants and cafés. The city is often seen as progressive and supportive of gender equality. However, for a stay longer than a few days, there are not many major tourist attractions compared with some other Italian cities, so it is best suited for a short city break of 2–3 days.

The cuisine was amazing and I definitely want to travel again to Italy once again...From my experience Milan is a very walkable city and you rarely need to take public transport. I went to Milan mid January, so there weren't that many people. I was able to safely solo travel around the city both at day and night time. I was quite scared to walk alone at night because I heard not so great experiences from past travelers, but since it wasn't summer season the streets were empty at night.

I enjoyed this beautiful city. I recommend the Cathedral and Victor Manuel. You can also visit the cemetery. If you visit Mc Donalds opposite the cathedral, you can see the whole Duomo. Recommendation: visit the city after the Olympic Games.

TBH it’s not unsafe during the day, sometimes it quite unsafe at night but overall I would say Milan is safe and convenient to travel around, people here are very respectful and avoid doing harm to travellers.
Posted: June 29, 2026i really do not feel safe walking alone anywhere as a young woman. many times i noticed i was being followed, and often men make disgusting comments. even though i said this, it happens all over the world and i would not say its the most dangerous city

always check on your things, especially on subways and popular areas. be extra careful. Milan isn’t safe at all as a city, they always hjt when you next expect it. Never let your guard down around those areas!

Milan is becoming increasingly dangerous. Certainly, there are worse cities and, above all, more dangerous areas than others, but you still need to be careful. Don't be alone, especially at night, and always keep your bags attached on the subway or in crowded places.
