I only went for the day and didn't really get to see as much as I would have liked.
The Duomo Piazza and the San Siro stadium are well worth seeing. I'm sure there is more, and hope to revisit to explore and enjoy more of this beautiful city. Meeting Father Xmas outside the Cathedral!!
Eat slowly...there's more coming!
by syllybabe
Italian meals are quite a production. Don't eat too much appetizers and bread or you'll never get to the end of the meal. Remember, there's pasta coming, then the meats, then more bread, more wine, more dessert, more fruit...more more more!!! Hey, I'm not complaining, ok? I love food!
Shopping Outlet - south
by mauro_pd
Point your car to south ... drive for some 60 minutes, park your car in the big car-park, take your wallet from your pocket ... and you're ready to the most exciting SHOPPING experience in Italy: the biggest OUTLET !!! You can shops for hours and save lots of money.
Post-colonial Chic
by Flamegirl about Roialto
It can be hard to find a space on Roialto's comfy sofas, but I love going there for the atmosphere created by the decor. It doesn't look much from the outside, but this cocktail bar/restaurant conceals a gem.
It's a very popular spot for that after-work drink, or perhaps a pre-club drink if you're going dancing somewhere like the Gattopardo (which is just along the road - see my "cat's whiskers" tip).
Milan has a wealth of bars, but in my opinion Roialto is worth going out of your way to visit.
Smart...Really Smart
by tpal
I did a keyword search for "Smart Car" on Virtual Tourist and got 67 hits so I know this won't be big news but...isn't this a great little car! We saw these little guys all over and by the time we left I was really itching to drive one but alas the moment escaped me. I got a little excited when I heard that efforts were afoot to start importing Smart Cars into the US. Further research, however, revealed that apparently we are not quite ready for these little cuties. Instead, initial plans call for the introduction of a SUV version into the US market...go figure!
