Milan

I spent a month in Italy in 2015 but didn’t make it to Milan, and only booked a night here this time on my way from Switzerland. What a cool city. What huge crowds of people! Milan is all lit up from Christmas still, the Christmas markets are in full swing, carols are playing, EVERYONE was out walking and enjoying the evening when I arrived. After a few hours on trains I was up for a decent walk and spent three hours walking around before finding a table for dinner. Being in the fashion capital of the world is a bit dangerous for someone who is bored with her suitcase of clothes 🙂 but I managed to leave without buying anything except some limoncello nougat. Although if the shop with the amazingly beautiful boots (pic below) had been open I would have probably sold a kidney to buy them 🙂 and the skirt they were paired with. Milan also seems to be the cake capital. And the source of the rubber ducks I’ve been seeing everywhere on my travels. I would come back here again, it’s a cool city to visit and wander in. Everyone I met was super nice. The taxi drivers were awesome. Stay in the city center if you can and walk everywhere. Taxi from the central station is only 10 Euro or you can take the metro. And eat in trattoria down the side streets, the food is good. Buona sera.
