(Duomo di Milano)
After the adventures in crusing Mediterrenean I had came the experience of another European adventure that happened in Italy, particularly Milan. So, let me show you a little bit around my second home(though I found several homes in different land, I don’t really know where IS home).
Milan is known as “Fashion Capital of The World“, home to the famous designers we know such as Gucci, Versace, Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, Cavalli, Armani, and countless names in the industry. Not only that, Italy by itself is an epitome of class and details. Architecture is another field where Italians exceed, let Venice’s geographical location and characteristics charm you with its romantic ambiance, or enjoy every meal with finest Italian food and aromatic vintage wines for its living proof, Italy proved a lot of excellence in what they love most.

Shopping is what most tourists go to Milan for (Japanese are the ultimate shoppers ever, having to pay a stranger to shop for them when they reach their limit in shopping for a company or brand), best bargains are in store July and February, marking prices down to 50-70% off the real price, surely you’ll see me there back then (when I was living in Milan 2004-2007). Aside from shopping, you can visit Duomo di Milano, Sant’ Ambrogio Basilica, Acquario Civico di Milano, Castello Sforzesco, Teatro alla Scala, and a lot more to see in this soulful city (check other places to see in Milan HERE). Most places are free admission but there are some minimal fees in museums for their maintenance and security.
It’s easy to get around Milan by bus, subways that they call ‘metro’, and trams. Some vintage trams are preserved for the culture but they are not last to adapt to new models of trams. All stations are carefully labelled in English and Italian that can be easily understand by anyone. Although, Italians are really nice to help you with directions if you need one.
