More money for shopping :-)&nbsp;I've been studying the transportation system and thought that the shuttle bus in might be doable - glad to get confirmation Angie!</p> <p>Rachylou - is your work group on 'food business'? Would love to hear the report back, and from you as well Mochi. You gave me some great tips for Japan.</p> <p>Love your pictures Astrid - they are from a different time altogether. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. And thank you and Makrame&nbsp; for mentioning The Last Supper, I need to get on to making reservations. Was hoping to hear/see a performance at La Scala but schedules are not aligning - might just have to do a tour.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-milan-travel-tips#post-1198438 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 20:51:32 +0000 Makrame 1198438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also thought it was a great walking city. &nbsp;We saw a lot in just one day of walking.</p> <p>I second making a reservation for the Last Supper - I had to check online multiple times for about a month before some days/times suddenly became available. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-milan-travel-tips#post-1198417 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:51:05 +0000 Astrid 1198417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have to go look at "The Last Supper". It's best to book tickets in advance. They literally guide you through.</p> <p><a href="http://www.vivaticket.it/?op=cenacoloVinciano" rel="nofollow">http://www.vivaticket.it/?op=cenacoloVinciano</a></p> <p>I've been to Milan last year on a study trip and while we had a full schedule we also could do some other things. We visited both the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, in the latter we even had an exclusive tour on a day closed to the public. And visited all the other most important sights, but you probably have that in your reading material. I don't have any tips about eating or shopping, unfortunately.</p> <p>I've wanted to post some pictures, but I fear all of mine are rather atypical for tourist pictures. I'm doing it anyway. ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-milan-travel-tips#post-1198408 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:29:56 +0000 Mochi 1198408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed Milano a lot last year (around the same time--April). I don't remember it being THAT far from the airport, but we did take a bus to get to the city.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was just an interesting walking city, though more will come back to me later. We saw some good museum exhibits too.&nbsp;</p> <p>We went to the same restaurant Angie wrote up here. A few really good places, actually. Let me get back to you on this! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-milan-travel-tips#post-1198342 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 17:41:16 +0000 rachylou 1198342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Half my work group is in Milan this week. I will have to see what everyone says. So far the report is - it's a dressy town </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-milan-travel-tips#post-1198315 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 17:21:36 +0000 Angie 1198315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Milan is fabulous. Have pasta each day and multiple helpings of gelato each day. Also happy hour (there is a special name for it in Milan that escapes me)&nbsp;at 5pm is AMAZING. All the finger food is <b><i>free</i></b>, and the atmosphere is festive.&nbsp;</p> <p>The airport is VERY far away from the city centre. Is your transport organized yet? It will cost 150 Euros if you take a cab, so we took the bus which was half the price and quite comfortable. (It takes almost 2 hours).&nbsp;</p> <p>Have to run and more later. But these posts mighty keep you going:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/07/milan-street-style-bold-and-alluring/">http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/.....-alluring/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/06/milan-fantastic-shopping-at-every-budget/">http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/.....ry-budget/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/06/milan-sites-and-tastes-in-an-historic-city/">http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/.....oric-city/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-milan-travel-tips#post-1198302 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 16:57:11 +0000 merwoman 1198302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am heading to Milan for a conference in early May - and am excited at the thought of taking in&nbsp;the fashion, shopping and dining. I've been reading up on Milan, but wondered if any fabbers could share some of their favourite shopping areas and places to dine. grazie!! </p>
