Discover the City of Milan

Milan is the regional capital of Lombardy and Italy's second city. Taking the bus from Lausanne to Milan means being able to access one of Europe's fashion hubs but there is much more to the city to discover than haute couture.

Which Districts Should You Visit in Milan?

The city centre is the most-visited part of Milan. The Duomo di Milano is the central historic landmark in this part of the city. However, there are some other neighbourhoods you should also take the time to explore which are a little more off the beaten track. Brera is just to the north of the city centre, known for its upmarket restaurants and art galleries. By contrast, Navigli is in the southwest of Milan, offering canalside nightlife and a more relaxed atmosphere than some of the more business-oriented and bustling districts.

Events and Festivals in Milan

If you take the bus from Lausanne to Milan in November, then you might be fortunate to arrive when Milano Music Week is on. This is a city-wide, multi-venue festival celebrating contemporary music with talks and showcase events, not just concerts. Festa di Sant’Ambrogio occurs each December, a local festival to mark the city's patron saint. Expect busy markets and typically Milanese cultural events.

Try Some of Milan's Specialities

Cotoletta alla Milanese is a veal cutlet fried in butter which, tradition states, should be cooked on the bone. It is one of the city's signature dishes. Cassoeula is another good dish to order, especially on a cold winter's evening. It is a hearty pork and cabbage stew popular in Milan and the rest of Lombardy.

Milan's Long-Distance Bus Station – What Is Nearby?

The Lausanne Milan bus typically brings passengers to Milano Lampugnano Bus Station, situated on the outskirts of the city. There are a couple of cafés and a snack bar at the bus station, as well as a small restaurant, Antica Trattoria Lampugnano, a little to the south on Via Trenno. Parco Monte Stella is situated next to the bus terminus, a pleasant green open space with good views over central Milan.

Getting to Know Milan in Three Days

Day 1: Visit the Must-See Sights of Milan

Begin your day at the Duomo di Milano which has some superb viewpoints over the city. Continue via Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan’s most historic arcade and find a café or a bistro for some lunch. In the afternoon, head to Castello Sforzesco and stroll through Parco Sempione. End your day at the elegant Piazza della Scala for a night at the opera or simply to people-watch.

Day 2: Explore Cultural Milan

Spend the morning at the Pinacoteca di Brera, a major public art gallery located just to the north of the city centre. Brera is full of enticing cafés and boutiques, a good place for an afternoon wander. In the evening, make your way to Navigli for an aperitivo and a meal by its historic canals, where you can delve into the city's food culture.

Day 3: Uncover What Modern Milan Has to Offer

The contemporary architecture of Porta Nuova, including the world-famous Bosco Verticale building, offers a great contrast to historic Milan. Spend some time in CityLife for its design culture and green parkland. If modern art is your thing, head to Fondazione Prada, a contemporary art centre housed over several storeys.

Seasonal Considerations for Milan Visits

Milan fashion weeks take place twice a year in early spring and autumn. Avoid late February and early March, as well as late September and early October, if you want to avoid the influx of crowds. Humidity can make Milan uncomfortably hot in high summer, so be prepared for it and drink lots of water, spending time in galleries and museums to keep cool. In the winter, Milan has plenty to offer visitors but it can be surprisingly cold even this far south due to the city's proximity to the Alps, so wrap up warm when heading out.
