    Milan any tips ???? - not that one

    Stopping off at Milan for a few nights on my way way to Rome next month.

    Any tips, mainly night life and over 30 friendly clubs would be good

    I hear Milan is more like West Berlin than Rome, only less friendly! Enjoy Rome.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      Florence is the best city in Italy, Milan is a bit dull.
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Been there twice and didn't rate it that much.

            Florence is a pretty but expensive and you have to pay to see just about everything of interest.

            IMHO Rome has it all, no matter where you stay as soon as you step out onto the street you're in a living and breathing museum... Best city on earth, apart from Bristol of course.

              Maybe been a bit harsh on Flo, it was more that it didn't live upto my expectations as some people had told me it was better than Rome. Infact people I talk to are pretty divided about which they prefer. I just felt it was a tourist trap as a lot of Rome is, but at least there you can find 'your own corner' away from the crowds.

              Going to Milan to see the Last supper and do some shopping, not expecting much else apart from risotto and a couple of bars.

                  Don't go on a Sunday if you're into shopping. Everything will be closed.

                  Some nice areas around the place, but if you're not into the fashion scene its just another european city... not really much to do there.
                  Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.
