MalcolmW Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Usual advice please looking at going in march and maybe watching a inter game while there. Grazie 5/3 AC v Chievo 12/3 Inter v Atalanta 19/3 AC v Genoa 26/3 international weekend. I've only changed plane at the airport, but my son, in his previous job, visited Milan for several days most weeks for 2 years or so. And he watched Inter v Rubin Kazan (I think it was) in a Europa League match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Never been but will want to go at least once If your thinking twice following the lukewarm feedback on here then I'd suggest having a look at Florence We went for a few nights in June, superb city!

It's about the finest dish on earth. Served with a decent Chianti in the company of noisy Italians.

Members bolty58 Posted January 25, 2017 Members Share Posted January 25, 2017 Due to the location of my company's HQ, I have been to Milan a few times. Our English (DMB) international sales director has season tickets for the rossoneri and has taken me along to a few games when I have been over there. Milan always strikes me as the graffiti capital of Europe. Grey, dull place - as others have said, a shit Manchester. I had a mate over there who used to live in the UK and was a mad Inter fan (now passed away, RIP Livio). He became the head chef in the restaurant at La Scala and that was pretty spectacular (apart from the price list). Other that that, I would be struggling to recommend anything in Milan.

captainmed Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 My advice is go somewhere else. Not much to see and do there. Like a Shit Manchester. In one. I was told before i went (thankfully on business expenses) that its "not what you think it will be". It wasn't. I will never return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 25, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've never been to Milan other than to change train so can't comment but have been to Florence - I wasn't impressed at all with it. Full of students and museums which I don't like either of. If I was doing a city break in Italy Rome would be my choice every time. Been 3 times and still see different things every time I go. Done all the tourist stuff now so time to investigate other areas. That said, I actually prefer the idea of Italy more than the country itself which I find a bit over-rated in the cities. The lakes is a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
