What to see in Milan in one day. With about 1,400,000 inhabitants, and located in  Lombardy, Milan is a city in which we are often passing through, either starting or ending an itinerary through Italy. Therefore one day, although it is a short time, is sometimes the only time we have to spend in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we will take a one-day tour of this northern Italian city, to see what you can do during your stay. I clarify that for this, as for any other big city, one day is a short time, and the ideal is to stay a little longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to see in Milan in one day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Milan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By plane <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Milan can be reached from three airports, Malpensa, Linate or Orio al Serio (Bergamo airport). The airport of your arrival will depend on whether your flight is internal, from Schengen area or international, anyway any of them are well connected with the city, although the closest one is Milan-Linate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Book your transfer from the airport to the hotel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

By train<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If you arrive by train you will arrive at Milano Centrale station, close to the center and well connected, it is one of the most beautiful stations in Italy. If you are visiting any other city in northern Italy such as Turin<\/a>, Verona<\/a> or Trento<\/a>, it may be a temptation to come to Milan for a couple of days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By car<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we stop to explain about the ZTL zone, the limited traffic zone in the center of Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milan is a city with a lot of traffic so they established some limited traffic zones, something we have to keep in mind to avoid getting a fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ZTL has two zones, B and C, C corresponds to the center of the city, B to the rest. Zone C can be entered by less polluting vehicles, it is active from Monday to Friday from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm, so if you travel on weekends, don’t worry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mopeds and electric vehicles can access free of charge. All Euro 0 gasoline vehicles and Euro 0, 1, 2 and 3 diesel vehicles are prohibited. While all other vehicles, in order to gain access, must purchase an area C ticket, which costs \u20ac5 and lasts for one calendar day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive in Milan, you can purchase and activate the ticket for access to Area C at kiosks, Intesa San Paolo ATMs and participating parking lots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enter the area and buy and activate the ticket during that day. In any case, contact your hotel before arriving in the city, so that they can explain it to you, since the regulations vary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We leave you here the link to the Comune di Milano<\/a> so that you can get the proper information and not get a fine.<\/p>\n\n\n

Where to stay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I will tell you where we stayed the two times we stayed in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time we stayed at Hotel Windsor Milano<\/a>. The hotel is correct, simple, clean, good breakfast, with parking in front, at a very good price, not so central, almost in front of Piazza della Repubblica, very close to Porta Nuova, well connected by streetcar. It was really a very good experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
