Milan has a great number of bars and night-clubs where visitors can listen to music, drink, eat and even dance. Many of these places are located in the Navigli district.

I think that in Via Marconi,1 (near Duomo) there is a Tourist office, where you can find informations about museum and a city map. 


I remain at your disposal for any further information you may need.
BUON VIAGGIO!!!

Hey Kiara, thank you so much for this information!
Milan was wonderful, I had such a good time!
Because it was August, it was almost empty and really peaceful. I had the Duomo almost for myself, loved it!
I also went to Brera, a lovely museum. It was really good to see so much Italian paintings, cause I'm mostly used to French and Dutch painters of the Renaissance.
Qua food and drinks, I thought Como Corso, Nottingham Forrest, Fashion Cafe, Bulgari Hotel Gardens and Lacerbar really really nice!
There are pictures on my blog:

I desperately want to go back, 3 nights was too short for such a beautiful city!

I am very glad you liked it!!!
Italy has many beautiful and historic cities that you must visit!
Before planning the next trip, write me!
PS: Nice photos, and great blog!
