items I recently went on a trip to Milan with my boyfriend for a few days, and safe to say we will be returning! During our time we did some excellent activities and we found some gorgeous food sports and I had to share with you all! All the food options r...

food
these are all the best food places we found! We bought snacks and pastries for breakfast from a local supermarket but it was nice to venture out and try a bunch of italian restaurants and cafes. here are our faves!
We booked here for dinner at the rooftop bar on valentines day. Right from entering the building we were greeted by staff and escorted to our table. The view of the city from the rooftop bar was incredible. The interior was decorated nicely for the e...
The Dome Milano
facing the cathedral, on the left between the high end shopping sector and h&m there is a cafe on the ground floor, usually opposite some souvenier shops. We went in here by chance to get a coffee and a snack and were spoilt for choice with drink...
Cathedral of Milan
a hidden gem in duomo if you're looking for pizza. this place is a few streets back and about a 5-10 minute walk from the cathedral. It's nicely decorated inside and there are plenty of options to choose from. I had the crudo pizza (ham) and my boyfr...
Pizzeria Cagiada - Milano Laghetto
this one is a bit specific to comasina which is where we stayed. the cafe is a very short walk from hotel da vinci and gives a very cosy vibe. we had 2 coffees and 2 croissants which came to less than 6.50 euro. I recommend the pistachio croissant - ...
CAFFE19, Milan
a little outside duomo/the city centre but worth it if you are nearby. very nicely decorated on the inside and the food and service was incredible. if you order the edamame for starters, just be warned you get a very large serving which would be enou...
IPPO Sushi Boutique Take-Away Delivery
worth all the hype you see on tiktok! 12 euro for 2 coffees which is a little more than what you would normally pay but this place is super posh and lovely that you don't mind paying the extra. I had the pistachio oat latte which was 10/10, one of my...
Starbucks - Reserve Roastery
accomodation and activities
we were only in milan for a few days so we wanted to make sure we made the most of our time! our hotel was beautiful and not too far from the city centre so it was easy to get to, and all our activities were not super costly
This was the hotel we stayed at in comasina which is super easy to get to from the centre of milan. 4 nights in a 4 star hotel including flights and luggage cost us less than £300 each - this is a fab hotel that looks gorgeous but you don't compromis...
HOTEL DA VINCI (Milan, Italy)
we did a guided tour of san siro stadium, £30 each and we got to look through the museum, go through the dressing rooms, walk onto the pitch. for the price the experience was incredible and i can't complain about anything! there was a nice souveniver...
San Siro
this is the most luxurious spa I have ever entered. £60 for basic entry which involved unlimited access to all spa rooms and pools for 5 hours. when you think you've seen it all, you have not. robes and towels and flip flops are provided. HOT TIP - b...
QC Termemilano
lake como was a bucket list destination for me. we got the train from milan central to varenna which took about an hour, and cost £27 for 2 adult return (you could never get this in england!). we could have got the ferry to the other side of the lake...
Lake Como
This is a great luxury shopping centre next to the cathedral it feels super fancy and posh! if you walk a little further (about 5 minutes) you get to more of the high street stores like zara, kiko etc. and theres lots of clothes shops and souveniere ...
IlDuomo: Luxury and fashion
something I wanted to see but didn't plan on experiencing. This is about a five minute walk from duomo cathedral, there is staggered entry as you can imagine, with it being a super popular place! The coffees and food options are second to none and th...
Starbucks - Reserve Roastery
safety hacks - you and your belongings
this one is super important! I was super worried about being pick pocketed whilst I was there as I had heard horror stories about bad things happening, so I was extra vigilant whilst there. Things like safety in numbers and keeping your belongings at...
I got a big set of these from amazon for about £10 and it was such a relief! they come in multiple sizes and you attach one end to the zip and one end to the buckle. it's a little fiddly to get open and close back up again but it does ease your mind ...
Zipper Locks
We kept air tags in our suitcases and also in our hand luggage/bags we took out on trips with us. just in case anything got stolen or went missing or we got seperated, we knew where each other were. again on flights this is great to do, as if you hav...
AirTag
this is a good tip if you are travelling alone/are vulnerable. we didn't end up getting one of these locks but did push heavy suitcases/items against the door which would make a loud noise should anyone attempt to break in
