Always be smart
by jubistuta79
Here ... city of fashion. You will not see anyone wearing a simple shirt or dress when they out to town. Most of ppls here, are beautiful with their dress. Not only for woemn, also applicable for a guy. They are following a up to date fashion, BUT not all of them buying an oriinal stuff!
During a winter, you can see more fashion used by local ppls.
Milan Synagogue
by TRimer
If you have time, visit the Milan Synagogue. Via Guastalla 19.
Jews have lived in Italy since Roman times. During the middle ages, they were alternatively protected and attacked by various popes and local rulers. Italian Jews were subjected to forced conversion lectures beginning in the 13th century. By the 1500's they were ordered to live in ghettos in Rome, Venice, Ferrara, Mantua, Leghorn and other cities.
Today, Italy's 30,000 Jews live in Rome, Milan, Turin, Florence and Leghorn (Livorno). Communities numbering in the hundreds are also organized in Bologna, Genoa, Trieste and Venice.
Fully stocked children shop
by nomadig about Du Pareil Au Même
There are surprisingly few children stores in Milan, compared to the overall number of clothing stores in the city. Your best bet is to walk on Corso Buenos Aires, as there are several shops for babies and children.
Du Pareil Au Même is one of the biggest, the selection catering for all aspects of having small children. The prices are quite okay, too, but the service is non-existent. We browsed through the shop for quarter of an hour, but got no service what-so-ever. Unbelievable!
Milan's Grand Stazione Centrale
by tpal
This was actually our second trip through the MIlan train station. The first was on the way to Venice and that was truly a blur in my mind as we did little more than move from one train to another. This time, however, Milan was our destination and we needed to take note of our surroundings.
This is a big place. Built on a grandiose scale in the early 20th century, it is one of the biggest train stations in Europe and I found it to be a bit intimidating. A very busy place and, it seemed to us, to lack a very intuitive pattern of egress. What seemed to contribute to the confusion is the main ticket hall's location which is at grade with the train platforms but 2-3 stories above street level. The prospect of carrying our luggage down a very long flight of stairs was daunting. Ultimately we located the escalator to the far left end of the gallery (when exiting the platforms). Taxi queues were located at the exit at the bottom.
The building itself is magnificent but sadly the concerns of transit took precedence over our quest for aesthetics.
The best branch in Milano
by muratkorman about Willy (Pizza)
Da Willy Pizzeria located in Famagosta is the best amongst the various branches spreaded all around. A warm and friendly service as well as large size delicious pizzas makes this place my favorite. There is a bowling saloon to help you digest the food just in the same building.
