    Top 5 Milan Travel Tips

    1. Avoid going in August: While Milan’s weather is generally pleasant throughout the year, August can become unbearably hot. Locals also take a month-long vacation during this time, so you might find a lot of places closed.
    2. Learn the language: It’s not mandatory but if you want to get the best deals or learn more about the local culture, learning the basics of Italian will help you a lot. Just a few common phrases will get you the best recommendations from the people in Milan.
    3. Book in advance: Want to see the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci? You will have to book tickets beforehand as there are limited slots available for limited people to see the world-renowned painting.
    4. Climb to the Duomo rooftop: A visit to the Duomo is incomplete without heading to the rooftop and seeing the spectacular view of Italy’s capital city. Arrive early as there might be a queue for the rooftop.
    5. Carry a jacket or umbrella: Milan is known for its unpredictable weather. It rains anytime, anywhere almost all months of the year. It is best to be prepared while traveling to avoid getting drenched.
