Milan. Fashion capital of the world. A shopper's paradise. Home to two of the most famous football teams in the world. Authentic Italian cuisine. What more can you ask for? To experience all this and more, book your flights to Milan today with bmi and indulge yourself in inspirational Italy.
Malpensa airport is close to the city and, to get you there, buses run every 30 minutes to Centrale station costing €5. A taxi costs around €12-20, depending on traffic.
Stay at the 4-star Berna Hotel. Perfect for business travelers, its central location and excellent service make it an economical choice. Or, try the AC Milano located just outside the city centre. This new, sleek, modern building is an acquired taste but as its placed at number 9 on the ‘Travelers Choice 2010 Trendiest Hotel ‘ list it's definitely worth a look.
Of course you can't visit Milan without browsing around the Quadrilatero della moda, the destination of the most prestigious designer boutiques in the world. Daydream in the Giorgio Armani flagship store; this huge space is a fashionista's paradise with exciting creations from the Emporio Armani line as well as the more casual Armani Jeans brand. You'll drool over the luxurious Armani Casa collection of homewares. Head for the basement to take the weight off your feet in the Emporio Armani Café and enjoy some delicious homemade antipasto.
Enjoy some traditional Milanese cooking at the reasonably priced Antica Hostaria della Lanterna, Via Mercalli. It's a small venue and reservations are essential. The excellent quality is evident; the tiramisu is obscenely good.
Take a tour of the vast and awe-inspiring San Siro Stadium, home to AC Milan and Internazionale, two of the most famous and successful football clubs in the world. Or, wander around the Fiera di Senigallia, a hip and trendy flea market near the Porta Genova MM2 subway and train station. Rummage through the rails of new and vintage clothing, retro furniture, records, books, and more. It's a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon in this dynamic city.
