| The old port district of Milano build around a network of canals. At nighttime this area comes alive with cafes, bars and restaurants open until the early hours. Seemed to be a mixture of youngsters and older people here. Some classy joints, some not so, but still a great atmosphere wherever we went. A short alk from the nerest tube station, a few stops from the centre. |

2. McArthur Glen Serravalle Outlet
|
|
| Bus tickets can be bought from all the tourist outlets throughout Milano, pick up was a short walk from the Centrale Stazione. The outlet centre itself is a great place to go shopping, with bargains to be had. Other stores offer top end items at reasonable prices also. One and half hours drive from Milano |

3. Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro)
|
|
| A trip to Milano wouldn't be complete without a visit to the home of Internazionale, one of world football's greatest theatres. Catch a game most sunday afternoons for as little as 7 Euro. The atmosphere is electric, especially in the Curva Nord |

6. Gelatoria's
|
|
| Dotted around the city are many ice cream parlours offering a variety of different flavours. Its easy to spot the genuine ones making real ice cream with fresh fruit, they look and taste delicious! My personal favourite, pistachio...... |
