Ideas for tourism in Milan
by microsensazione
Hi!
About quick city tour in Milan I'd suggest "Piazza del Duomo" and "Castello Sforzesco" (about 1km North West far from "Piazza del Duomo").
I usually suggest to reach "Piazza del Duomo" by underground "Line 1 (red)" or "Line 3 (yellow)" depending on where you are located. Underground is not so dangerous but it's better you take care of your wallet.
These are the most wanted sites in Milan by tourists anyway, depending on time you want to spend in Milan, I'd suggest to take a look on

Gasoline

When returning car back to airport and willing to refuel it, easy job can become hard during public holidays, like easter time. There are no staff at gas stations and the international credit cards (like Visa) are no accepted, only local bank cards... The only possibility is to use cash money or let car rental company refuel with with some etxra price.
Secondhand best shopping
by mauro_pd
Secondhand best shopping in Milan by Docks Dora... an old factory partially renewed to host a great secondhand store for trousers, shirts, jackets & many other stuff ... it deserves a quick visit even if you're not a 2ndhand fan. Away from the crowd located in via Toffetti.
More Shopping Bliss At Fashion Outlets

This is a continuation from the previous list (above)....
Ciovassino Fashion Discount Store
(via Ciovassino, 3 - tel. 02809526).
Open from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
This is the factory outlet which produces clothings for designers like Givenchy, Sonia Rykiel etc. They offer very good deals especially on end-of-season collections and samples (I think they call it factory rejects... those that aren't 100% perfect).
Vidivi
Viale Elvezia 22
tel: (02) 33103108, Tuesday to Saturday, 9-12:30, 14:30-18:30
Whether you're a local, tourist or expatriate moving to Milan, the first thing you'll be looking at is to find items for your home. I had the good fortune to find this gem of a place (highly recommended to me by my Italian friends). Fans of Missoni (me!) will also drool here because you can find linens, rugs, bedspreads, quilts - mostly designed by Missoni going for 40% cheaper vis a vis the boutiques!! I bought a beautiful Missoni bedspread and some towels here.
I also highly recommend the La Botteguccia. It's a stock house offering really lovely stuffs like crystal and porcelain objects, and kitchen items at wholesale prices.
Address: via della Pergola, 11

By the way, I wouldn't dare recommend a store to you if I haven't already been there and done that. ;-) See above.
Coach to Central station
by Mazza1
My sister and I flew Ryan Air Stanstead to Bergamo, which is a popular airline with the budget jetsetter brigade! It is patronised by an interesting cross section of the public, appreciated by those who are fond of international travel but reluctant to spend £400 on a BA flight for the privilege of hopping across the channel and back.
The one-hour coach ride from Bergamo airport to central Milan was one colossal sprawl of businesses, factories and Mammouth style out-of-town shopping districts. A low lying thick fog shrouded us and our new surroundings in mystery as we left Orio Al Serio airport, and arrived through the city's main arteries into the centro città - perhaps unsurprisingly for a business centre in Northern Italy - dead as the night for a Friday evening!
We were immediately struck by the towering office blocks and neon signs of consumerist activity squaring up to the meglomaniacal grandeur of Central station and piazza.
