Great place for solo travelling if you love walking around, sightseeing, shopping and great food! There are female-only hostels available in the central of the city - very close to all must-see places.
Posted: November 24, 2023I spent 2 days in Milan and felt really safe. The city is very lively, even at nighttime. It‘s really easy to get around using public transport. I had a hotel at the central station and never used a taxi. It was really lovely time.
Posted: October 20, 2023My first solo trip was to Milan and I absolutely loved it. I did 3 days there, one day trip to Lake Como and one day trip to Turin. I felt safe and didn't have any issues. Language was not an issue, I got around mostly with English and understanding Italian.

As a gelato lover I want to recommend you this place in Milan: Viel🍦So delish! 🥰 Maybe you are a gelato lover too, haha! Of course the city itself was a vibe and as a solo traveler I felt safe and mesmerized by the architecture, art in general, green spaces, kind and curious people. 😁 #bellaitalia

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.
Posted: July 24, 2023I 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.
Posted: July 12, 2023I went on a solo trip to Milan, Italy, and it was amazing! It was my first time traveling alone, and I didn't speak the language or know much about Italy, but I had a great time. I got lost a lot, but I always managed to find somewhere to eat, which was fun. I felt really safe in the city, and I would definitely recommend it to any women who want to explore and enjoy delicious food. This trip gave me a lot of confidence and reminded me that I'm a strong woman who can handle anything on my own!
Posted: July 1, 2023This was my second time in Milan and i was somewhat dissappointed. Since i had been once before i had already seen all the touristy sites and felt like the city didnt have that much more to offer (however i was on a tight budget so i didnt go out to eat and stuff, which would probably be very fun). But a nice city overall! Felt very safe all the time☀️
Posted: June 30, 2023I didn’t feel safe in Milan, me and my sister had multiple experiences of men following us or shouting things and just being generally really creepy. I was also surrounded by a group of homeless-looking people in the metro station whilst buying my train ticket and one of them grabbed my money from me. Wouldn’t go back there.
Posted: June 18, 2023I was in Milan recently for a couple of days. I was in the center and the central train station and both were safe. Prudent to be aware, but never felt unsafe. The basilica there is pretty, and do the rooftop. Though I thought the catacombs were small and unimpressive. I took a day trip to Como and it was beautiful.

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
Posted: July 8, 2023My local suggestions for things to do: - Duomo of course, not only visiting, but going on top of it. - Castello Sforzesco, a castle in the center of the city, which hosts a musuem as well. It's home of the beautiful Pietà Rondanini by Michelangelo Buonarroti. One of my favourite thing in the city. - Biblioteca & Pinacoteca Ambrosiana: one of the oldest public libraries in the world, home of a beautiful art collection including pieces from Leondardo Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Botticelli and Raffaello. - Pinacoteca di Brera: home of many important pieces of arts, from Renaissance to Modern. - Cimitero Monumentale, the historical graveyard. Don't miss this one, it's also completely free. It's unique, like an open air museum. - Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio: one of the most ancient churches in Milan, a jewel of Romanic art. - Other churches that worth a visit: Santa Maria in San Satiro, San Lorenzo, San Bernardino alle Ossa (it is decorated with human bones), San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore (few know about this one, though it's really amazing, it's completely decorated in frescoes). - The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci (book in advance).
Posted: December 1, 2022Food: Milan is very diverse so you can find different restaurants from all over Italy. For something super local I recommend finding a Trattoria specialised in Lombardy food. Also something we love is aperitivo (very popular on Navigli area) where you order a drink and fill up your plate for free from a lovely buffet. Nightlife: I would recommend Navigli area and Arco della pace for bars to drink and experience the city vibe. The most popular nightclubs are in Corso Como/Moscova which mainly do commercial/house. Attraction: Must do is duomo square (can also go in or up the cathedral) and walking through the nearby shopping streets. Sforzesco Castle and potentially other museum such as pinacoteca di Brera, science and technology museum or the last supper (book in advance) Things to do: a day trip to lake Como with a boat tour to explore the lake is definitely worth it. Day trips to other popular cities (Turin and Bologna) are also worth it.

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.
Posted: August 15, 2023Does anyone know any good „weekday“ markets in milano ( like to buy fruits or vegetables).
Posted: August 1, 2023Hey all! I’m heading off to Milan for a long weekend in a couple of weeks and would love to hear about any recommendations and tips - also interested in booking a cookery class so if you’ve done one of these please let me know. Also looking at doing a day in Lake Como so any advice and recommendations for there would also be amazing
Posted: November 18, 2022My friend and I are heading to Milan and looking to do a day trip to Lake Como. Let me know some recommendations for bars/nights out in Milan. Ideally we are looking for somewhere not too glam and throwback hits/ cheesy tunes Also any tips/ advice for lake Como would be much appreciated as we’ll be doing a day trip there
Posted: November 1, 2022Please advise planning a trip to Milan and lake Como first week of November. How is the weather in early November ? Is it too cold? or manageable to walk around in the city
