Milan is the second largest and most important city in Italy, located in the northern alpine regions of the country, in the western part of the Padan lowland. According to the map of Milan in Russian, it is the center of a five million agglomeration and the capital of the Lombardy region - the most developed and densely populated part of Italy.

The city is considered one of the financial centers of Europe, as well as the capital of world fashion.

Milan on the map of Italy: geography, nature and climate.

Milan on the map of Italy covers an area of ​​182 km². From north to south and from west to east, it has approximately equal length of about 16 km. Milan is surrounded on all sides by satellite towns, the largest of which - Sesto San Giovanni and Cinisello Balsamo - lie on its north-eastern borders.

A street map of Milan shows its radial structure. However, the abundance of historical buildings in the city center makes its own adjustments to the city's layout. In general, Milan is characterized by a flat landscape - the average altitude of the central areas is about 120 meters above sea level. Although there are no large forest areas in the city, in several park areas concentrated on the periphery of Milan, especially in the western part, you can find the vegetation traditional for the region: oaks, lindens and chestnuts.

Despite the fact that the Lombard Valley is replete with numerous tributaries of the Po River, there are few large water arteries in the city itself. In the east of Milan flows the small Lambro River, not exceeding 15-20 meters at its widest point. The Olona River also crosses the city from north to south, but in the northern and central parts of Milan its waters are channeled through an underground channel, and in the southern part through several direct artificial canals. There are no large lakes in the city. The largest reservoir can be considered the Kabassi quarry on the eastern outskirts, but its area does not exceed 0.3 km 2.

Distance to major cities of the continent:

• Rome - 480 km to the southeast;
• Paris - 640 km to the northwest;
• Madrid - 1200 km to the southwest;
• Zurich - 220 km to the north.

Milan is one of the largest cities in Italy. There are wonderful hotels and the opportunity to buy inexpensive, beautiful Italian things. And the sights of Milan are worth paying special attention to.

Milan is a convenient point to start an independent trip to Italy. Flights from Russia to Milan are the best prices.

I wrote these words and it made me laugh. History of Milan in 3 paragraphs, how is this possible! I imagined how one and a half thousand years ago the historian, philosopher and political figure Niccolo Machiavelli sat down at his desk in his office and wrote: “History of Florence.” And then there was a whole life, and only after death his work was published. There will probably be a time when the history of Florence and the history of Milan will be written in SMS messages. In the meantime, until this terrible time comes, I will try to list the main facts about the city of Milan in a not entirely telegraphic style.

Milan is located in Lombardy. This is the largest region of Italy. Located in the north-west of the country. Population 1.3 million people. Milan is the capital of fashion and shopping.

The history of Milan is constant wars and the transition of territory into the hands of various kings, dukes, counts, marquises; unification with some lands and again division of the territory.

From the beginning of the Middle Ages, this territory of Italy was united under the crown of the Ostrogoths, then the Lombards, then passed into the hands of Charlemagne, then it was captured by Otto I (founder of the Holy Roman Empire), then the House of Este united the lands of Milan with Genoa.

In the 12th century, Frederick Barbarossa completely destroyed the city. Quite quickly, a new city is being built on the site of old Milan. Once again, Milan is the capital of culture and influence.

The official birth of the city dates back to the same XII century. In 1395 the Duchy of Milan was established. Until the middle of the 15th century, the Visconti family was in power. Milan then passes into the hands of Sforza. It was during this period that the dawn of culture in Milan occurred. At this time, great architects, sculptors, and artists lived and worked here. In 1482, Leonardo da Vinci was invited to the city.

Around this time, the architect Antonio Filarete, who lived in Milan, developed his theory of the “ideal city”. Later, by other architects and craftsmen, the idea was realized during the construction of the Moscow Kremlin.

The beginning of the 16th century brought Italy and Milan a series of long wars. Dynastic ties draw Milan into the confrontation between France and the Habsburgs. Discord lasts until 1535, when Milan becomes part of the Spanish Crown.

At the end of the 17th century, Austria, Sardinia and, again, France entered the struggle for the Duchy of Milan. Then the War of the Polish Succession.

18th century War of the Austrian Succession. Next comes a series of Revolutionary Wars.

In 1799, the Russian army led by Suvorov entered Milan.

1802 Italy and Milan become the Italian Republic. The republic is headed by Napoleon Bonaparte.

In 1804, when Napoleon became king of France, a monarchy was established in Italy. After the defeat and fall of Napoleon, the Duchy of Milan was decided not to be restored.

In 1859, Lombardy became part of the united Kingdom of Italy. Then there will be wars for the unification of Italy, participation in the First and then in the Second World Wars.

As you can see, the history of Milan is stormy and vibrant. One can only wonder how the people living in this territory retained optimism and cheerfulness when the residents managed to create works of art in architecture, literature, and music.

It’s a pity that my “short history of Milan” mainly consists of wars. But, perhaps, it was precisely participation in these numerous disputes and divisions that instilled in the Milanese the ability to maneuver, evade and make concessions for mutual benefit, to reach agreement where other nations would have long ago taken up arms.

From all of the above, I would draw the following conclusions: be friendly, open, and smiling with the Milanese. When shopping, don't hesitate to ask for a discount or ask about discounts. Do it easily and with a smile. A long, difficult history has taught these people a lot. Milanese value openness and fun.

Friends, we are now on Telegram: our channel about Europe, our channel about Asia. Welcome)

This table shows the average air temperatures in Milan for the year. As you can see from the picture, the climate of Milan can please Russian tourists. If you look at the column with average temperatures, then in the middle of summer it’s not hot at +23 degrees, and on New Year’s Day -2 degrees. In summer you will not die from the heat, in winter you will not become numb from the cold. But you shouldn’t blindly trust averaged figures. This column is not an indicator. Milan's climate can be capricious, varied and can bring weather surprises. We simply take note of the table indicators. We treat the indicators in the other tables in the same way - we take them into account, but before the trip we check the real values.

Milan has the second highest humidity level in Europe (about 75%), experiencing fog and smog 343 days a year. Milan also has the fourth position in the nomination “The hottest capital of Europe”, and for “The largest number of days with temperatures below 0 °C” meteorologists give Milan 6th place.

In general, if you are in Milan, take clothes for different weather conditions. You can do it differently: take a minimum of clothes and everything you need to buy in Milan, because... Milan is the capital of shopping. (More on this later in the article).

Sights of Milan

I would like to say that in Italy they don’t look for sights. In Italy, attractions find you at every turn. In general, all of Italy is one big attraction. You just need to enter the territory of the old city. As a rule, this is the city center. And Milan is no exception.

Milan Cathedral

This is one of the most grandiose buildings I have ever seen. I was also struck by the beauty and power of the Cathedral in Siena. But there will be another article about him.

The cathedral was built over six centuries. Therefore, different styles can be traced in it, but Gothic predominates. This can be easily understood by the vertical compositions, complex frame system of supports and ribbed vaults. And how many sculptures there are! There are more than 3,000 of them in total. They look especially incredible from the roof.

In Milan, tourists have an amazing opportunity to climb to the roof of the cathedral and see the city from a bird's eye view. The roof of the cathedral is an observation deck. Paid entrance. Here you can see the cathedral spiers and sculptural figures.

Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Last Supper

The church is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is noteworthy that it became a pioneer among Italian attractions included in the UNESCO list. And it is famous for the fact that in the refectory there is a fresco by Leonardo da Vinci “The Last Supper”. The wall with the fresco miraculously survived the bombing in World War II. Can you imagine? All around, everything is destroyed, the city lies in ruins, and in the midst of the ruins stands the “Last Supper.” I think this is truly a miracle.

To see the fresco, you need to buy an entrance ticket to. It is better to do this in advance via the Internet, because the time and number of visits is strictly limited. They enter the refectory every 15 minutes in groups of 20-25 people. For an additional fee, you can pick up an audio guide near the ticket office. Available in Russian.

You can also buy an entrance ticket to the church on the spot.

Sforzes Castle (Castello Sforzesco)

Milan has a long, fascinating history. One of the most famous periods in the history of Milan is the reign of the Sforza dynasty. Every rich and influential family should have its own castle. And sometimes not alone. Sforza had one too.

Hotels and accommodations in Milan

Many people go to Milan to see famous sights, listen to opera at La Scala and, of course, for shopping. Therefore, there is hotel infrastructure for tourists. Everyone will find housing that matches their wishes and preferences.

On roomguru I found 920 hotels for August. I’ll say right away that the service of Italian hotels differs from Egyptian and Turkish services. You will not find “All inclusive” schemes or large multi-storey complexes with meals. The most you can count on is a full breakfast. And even then it is quite meager. It was in Milan that we had the opportunity to try the most meager breakfast of all our trips around the world.

We stayed at Hotel Siena Milan, it is located a 10-minute walk from the main railway station. Nice rooms, recommended.

We also offer good options for hotels and hostels in the center of Milan

Italians value their family connections, so most hotels are small hotels with 20-30 rooms, which are owned by members of the same family.

Therefore, I think a good option for living in Italy is to rent a room from local residents or an entire apartment. That's what we did in Rome. We had an apartment near the Colosseum for 35 euros for three. In Venice, we took advantage of the same opportunity and took an apartment - a two-room apartment in the city center with a living room, bedroom and spacious kitchen. For about the same amount.

We booked this room in Santander

I think you understand the convenience of such housing. Full autonomy with your own kitchen. The service will help you find such housing. AirBnb. We have already become permanent tenants there. In August we are flying to Spain and Portugal, through airbnb we have booked an apartment somewhere, a room somewhere in Barcelona, ​​Santander, Santiago de Compastelo, Sintra - the city and on the coast. We recommend using this service!

Public transport in Milan

Milan is not a small city. And therefore the city authorities approached this issue responsibly. The public transport system is well thought out and will sometimes allow you to save not only money but also time.

The map is clickable and opens in high resolution in a new window.

Milan's public transport is managed by Azienda Trasporti Milanesi (ATM). It covers three metro lines and about 120 tram, bus and trolleybus routes.

By the way, on the way to there will be cities such as and Padua. It's worth stopping in them. But not all trains stop there; check the schedule and stations where the train stops.

Note! The Italians call the city Padova; if you go to the ticket office or ask the locals about Padua, they won’t understand you.

In terms of time: we planned to visit both Verona and Padua in one day. On the spot, in Padua, they realized how excited they were. We didn’t have enough day to explore Padua. Plan at least a whole day for this city.

Get there to Florence: by train. Trains leave every hour. Travel time is 1.40 minutes by direct train. With a transfer in Bologna 2.55 minutes. Cost 25-50 euros per ticket.

Shopping in Milan is a necessary part of the life of stylish people and... shopaholics. Fashion boutiques in Milan will come your way at every turn. But expensive boutiques are only part of the iceberg. The lion's share of the assortment and greater price flexibility are presented in Milan outlets.

Outlets are simply huge shopping centers where branded clothing is widely represented at heavily discounted prices.

The main advantage of shopping in Milan is the lower cost of items from Italian manufacturers. The difference in prices for clothes and shoes can reach 45%.

If you still prefer shopping in Milan stores, then I give you the logins and passwords.

The most expensive and fashionable area is considered to be the area with the streets via Spiga, via Montenapoleone and via Manzoni.

The area for lovers of inexpensive shopping is located in C.so Buenos Aires.

Absolutely different shops from the most economical to quite expensive are concentrated on the streets via Dante and C.soVittorio Emmanuele. The categories of products presented are very extensive. These include shoes, clothing, cosmetics, perfumes, and jewelry.

Best shopping time in Milan

The best time for shopping in Milan is the sales season. Sales are held twice a year.

In winter: from January 7 to the beginning of spring. Mountains of winter clothes and shoes are on sale. Although sales continue until the beginning of spring, by mid-February there is almost nothing left on the shelves.

Summer: from mid-July to the end of August. Summer clothing stocks are on sale.

In general, if you want to treat yourself to fashionable haute couture items without breaking the bank, then go to Milan for the seasonal sales.
