Tips and Tricks for Visiting Milan
Lots of Birds
Milan is heavily populated with pigeons which flock to the Piazza Duomo. Do not feed the pigeons while in the city centre or they will tend to surround you.
Milanese are Not the Relaxed Type
While most of Italy is about enjoying the time passing by, the Milanese believe in hard work. The city itself is highly fast-paced and most people go about their business without noticing those around them.
Bars Mean Cafés
When someone tells you to visit a particular "bar," they are actually referring to cafés.
Pack an Umbrella
Milan has more rain than other parts of Europe and it is hard to find umbrellas locally. Therefore, packing one for the journey will keep you dry for the random rain storms.
Know the Language
While Milan hosts thousands of tourists, the locals do not speak English. They may understand some English, and staff at local cafés know a standard few words, but it is best that you brush up on your Italian while visiting.
