- smell of weed everywhere; didn’t feel safe, lots of homeless and migrants, someone was buying drugs right in front of me (it was daytime); everything is expensive, basic pasta in a small cafe starting 9 euro; Italian cuisine gets boring on a 3d day. + hot men, my tinder turned into an art gallery; lots of designer shops with pretty windows must visits: duomo rooftop (terraces); da vinci’s last supper museum; monumental cemetery; brera gallery; como lake

I felt somewhat the same, but the area I was in was terrible. Overall, the trip was great! If you are planning to go alone, it's great to visit the city and nearby cities during the day. However, at night, it would be wise to stay in safer, crowded areas.

I felt safe on the streets. One time a guy tried to make me buy a flower from him which was weird and my boyfriend immediately went away from him. But I met buch of italians and they were really nice which I'm really glad for. I would totally go again!

I enjoyed Milan but it's true that the city itself is not very interesting. It's kinda expensive and there's not a lot of things to do. You need to be prepared for it. BUT we went to the Major Lake and it was absolutely incredible. We had the best time. It's expensive but to pretty and very accessible from Milan with public transportation.

*Safety: I didn't feel very safe at first, I've heard of some bad experiences from Milan and Italy in general too. The crime rates are rising. Being mugged, harassed or raped were my worries. When I arrived, I saw dirty streets and huge poster ads for alarming systems, so not the best time around. But then I walked a lot around the city and I must say, most of the time I didn't feel in danger. I started to recognize the city's vibe. I was very cautious and preventive too. Then I met other travelers and Milanese and they had a great time there! *What to do there: For sight-seeing I liked going on an eng walking tour through citywalkers with Marco. There's lots of history and fun details to learn about the city. You need to book a few days ahead. You pay as much as you wish (generally like 10 eur+). It's 3 hours long and after the tour Marco shows other places you can go to on your own. He loves the place and is a great tour guide. The Duomo visit is quite expensive and the queue was long even on Friday morning during a rainy day, so I chose to skip it. The castle is worth visiting. *Food: I recommend choosing the restaurants and cafes before leaving to eat. It's not easy to find a good place just searching around lol but there is some delicious food for sure! Just plan ahead. Look at the map. Ask people. *Money: A meal in a restaurant/bar costs circa 10 euro. Groceries aren't much cheaper. Public transport is I think around 2,2 euro for 90minutes *Transport: I liked walking. Exploring different places. There're also multiple metro lines, trans, buses I think. Currently there are some strikes around the public transport, but usually it works well. Taxis are expensive. Public transport is packed during the weekend. Duomo Square and streets with expensive stores seem to always be full. *Stay: I stayed at the Yellowsquare hostel. It's been great, they have many activities and guests. They host karaoke nights sometimes and those are popular among Milanese, especially millennials. I loved meeting people there.

Visited 3 museums (fundazione, duomo, leonardos), transport, a limonccello at a bar close to the duomo, a lemonade at the fundazione restaurant, plus my backpack at the armadio. Still figuring it out 30-100% of my stay

My experience in Milano was very nice. I stayed with a local women and had the best time ever. I visited beautiful streets and the monuments like the dome or the galleries. I felt safe overall and the people where very nice!
Posted: September 12, 2024Milan is a beautiful city. I highly recommend it for solo female travellers. The hostel Ostello Bello, near the central station is perfect for anyone who wants access to all the nearby hotpots like Brera and the Duomo.

Hi, I have travelled to Milan a few times. The city felt quite safe. Places I visited was duomo, navigli, churches, hotels. The Bvulgari hotel was nice. Art museums and shops. I basically went there to meet friends nice to relax by the river, there is dancing, food and drinks. Very sociable

Overall in the daytime I would say it's quite safe. You have to watch out for pickpockets on public transport and I'm sorry to say you could experience catcalling. At night I wouldn't recommend walking alone although I have friends that do, still not a fan, I don't feel safe. If you can please call a cab.

I am Italian🇮🇹 October 99, originally from a small town in Piedmont⛰️ For high school I studied in Genova, so in the week I was in a "college" with other people and from there I began to appreciate the dimension of community, hospitality and friendships in many places👪 I studied at the University of Turin and did an Erasmus in Amiens🇫🇷 I was never good with languages😅 but I realized that my curiosity about people was stronger than the skills I lacked🔆 Last year I did one Camino for Santiago by myself🎒 I am now doing a course in Milan, working online, and I feel it is the time of my life to travel, host, and continue to meet people all over the world🗺 I now live in south Milan, 30 minutes by transportation from the center🚋 Feel free to write me for information🤸🏽♀️

Hello! I’m Camilla and I do travel a lot! I’m mostly a solo traveler and I experienced to be hosted from someone i don’t know very well and host someone i don’t know very well already before this app. That because I’m a very open and friendly person and I meet a lot of people like me when I travel, with whom I usually arrange new trips. I’m a tattoo artist and a dj, I love social life and meeting new people and exchanging stories and ideas.
