"Italy Travel" Milan's hidden attractions and recommended food all at once!

Milan is located in northern Italy. It is a famous fashion capital and art capital with many museums, galleries and historical buildings, such as the Milan Cathedral and Leonardo da Vinci's most famous work, "The Last Supper". In addition, there are many delicious restaurants, bars and cafes! It is truly a vibrant and charming city that you cannot miss, and it is one of the popular destinations for traveling in Europe. ✨ Airport Transportation Basically, you can choose bus as a means of transportation from the airport to the city and back! ✅Malpensa (MXP) Airport to the city bus (about 40.50 minutes by car, you can also take the Malpensa Express Airport Express, but the fare is relatively expensive, €13 per person one way) ✅Bus from Caravaggio II (BGY) Airport to the city (about an hour’s drive) ✨Urban transportation I highly recommend buying a Milan one-day transportation ticket (biglietto giornaliero) for €7 and it is valid for 24 hours from the time of ticket issuance, not just for the day! This transportation ticket allows unlimited rides on Milan's Mi1-Mi3 buses, subways, light rail trams, and urban railways. ✨Attractions Recommended 🇮🇹Milan Cathedral aka Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano) is one of Milan's most famous landmarks and one of the largest churches in Italy. Milan Cathedral is located in the city center. It has spectacular Gothic architecture and exquisite relief decorations. Visitors can also climb to the top of the cathedral to enjoy a panoramic view of Milan. You can order tickets to the top here. You can choose to take the elevator or climb the stairs to the top of the church. The price will vary depending on how you get to the top of the church and whether you want to visit the inside of the church. However, climbing the stairs is not too strenuous, so if you want to save money, you can choose this! 🇮🇹Museum of the 20th Century You can see in Xiaohongshu that the Museum of the 20th Century (Museo del Novecento) is a very popular tourist attraction. It is located next to the Milan Cathedral and mainly collects Italian and international modern art, including paintings, sculptures, photography, installation art, etc. The most famous thing is definitely that it has a whole wall of glass floor-to-ceiling windows, from which you can directly take pictures of Milan Cathedral and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II! 🇮🇹Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Located next to Milan Cathedral, it is a historic shopping center and tourist attraction. It is one of Milan's landmark buildings and is named after the first king of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II. It has many well-known luxury brand stores, restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. Another famous attraction of the arcade is the bull's scrotum under the central dome. It is said that if you step on it with your heel and turn around three times, you will have good luck! There is a restaurant here where you can take photos of Milan Cathedral and also take photos with Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II on the balcony. I will introduce it to you below. 🇮🇹Piazza del Duomo It is one of the most famous squares in Milan, right in front of the Milan Cathedral. There are often many pigeons. If someone hands you pigeon feed, don't take it! Otherwise you will be asked for money! There are many historical buildings, shops, cafes and restaurants here, it is very lively! It also means that there are really a lot of people here, so you must always pay attention to your personal belongings! ✨Food recommendations 🇮🇹Spontini A chain pizza restaurant very close to Milan Cathedral, you can stop by to eat! The taste is very popular with the public! The special dough makes the crust thicker and softer, while the bottom of the cake is baked crispy and has an amazing taste! The seasoning is very flavorful, the generous amount of cheese and the special ketchup are a perfect match! It costs about 5 Euros (about 170 NTD) per person to eat a full meal. It is also recommended that if there are many people traveling together, you can order different flavors to try. Although there are no seats in the store and the space is relatively small, so you need to stand to enjoy your meal, there are still a lot of people in the store! I saw quite a lot of Korean tourists in the store at that time, haha! After eating, you need to recycle the garbage by yourself! 🇮🇹Starbucks Reserve® Milan Roastery This is Starbucks' first store to enter the Italian market. It has beautiful decorations and is perfect for taking photos. It is also a good place to sit down and have a cup of coffee and take a break when you are tired of shopping nearby. The biggest feature of this Starbucks in Milan is that it has a unique series of coffees, cakes and desserts. There is also a super large coffee bean roasting machine in the store, allowing customers to see the coffee bean roasting process with their own eyes. Another special service is that guests can sit and watch the barista brewing coffee! The store also has a wide variety of coffee beans, coffee cups, thermoses, and souvenirs. I hope you won’t be unable to resist the urge to spend too much money here? Ha ha! 🇮🇹Zia Esterina Sorbillo It is a small fried pizza shop located not far from the Duomo, Milan Cathedral. It actually comes from Naples. It’s take-out only, but there are actually chairs on the street nearby where you can sit and enjoy it! It contains ingredients such as ham, cheese, and ketchup. I heard that there used to be long queues, but luckily I didn't have to queue at all when I went there! There aren't many flavors here, but you can buy one for only 4-5 euros! It’s really a good deal! Remember to wait a few minutes for it to cool down a little before eating, otherwise you will get burned! 🇮🇹Belle Donne Bistrot There are quite a lot of people, so it is recommended to make an appointment in advance. You can download The Fork APP to get a 20% discount on reservations! However, I'm not sure how long the discount will last, so if you are interested in going there, you can confirm it in advance. Overall I would give him an 8 / 10! I really enjoyed his Carpaccio di Chianina, a thinly sliced ​​beef dish that went really well with the sauce and was very appetizing. I love his risotto! (In the lower left of the picture) The risotto I ordered has fresh oysters and pomegranates, which is a very novel combination! But if there is no 20% discount, it might be a factor that makes me think about whether to come, after all, it is really not cheap~ 🇮🇹terrazza Duomo21 Here you can take pictures of Milan Cathedral, and also take photos with Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II on the balcony! If you want to go to the balcony to take pictures of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, you can ask the waiter how to get there. The service staff here are very friendly! They said it's not open to the public normally? It was a private room, and we were allowed to go in and take photos because we asked. But the food here is really expensive and a bit ordinary. My friend ordered a glass of APEROL (a famous wine in Milan) and it cost 20 euros! If you come here for the food, you might be disappointed! You can evaluate whether it is worth a visit. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance. The entrance is a bit difficult to find. If you want to come, I recommend that you sit outside to enjoy the cathedral.
