Tip: Malpensa Airport is quite far from the city center (about 45 km). Make sure you take the train (Malpensa Express) or the bus, to reach your destination.Avoid the taxi.The cost is around 100 euros.
8:00 p.m. Yes! I am in Milan! It took me around 40 min to get from the airport to the hotel.I have just entered the room.
I have to say that the hotel (Chateau Monfort Hotel Milan) was a huge surprise,so,i will dedicate a entire post-photo gallery! Actually, it is one of the most beautiful hotels i have ever stayed! Plus:Very good location and excellent service.
I gave myself a break and then took a shower, dressed, put on my heels.. I was ready for the night...
10:00 p.m. I am at the restaurant.As Milan is a city of fashion,you can,of course,shop designer brands but also, you can eat at their restaurants or have a drink at their cafes.I thought that would be a good experience,
so,i chose for dinner the Dolce & Gabbana Gold Restaurant.It was very close to my hotel,so better,because i went on foot.I wasn't wrong,it was an amazing experience! The Gold Restaurant is a stylish place with stylish people.So well decorated.The staff is efficient and friendly enough.The menu has many options and the wine list as well.They serve (of course) Italian cuisine.The food is very good.If you go,make sure you try the Sicilian specialities.It is a different category in the menu and the most of the dishes are delicious!And about the prices: They are high,but in my opinion,nothing is overpriced.It is a fine dinning restaurant and it is, definitely,worth the money.If you are not a fan of fine dinning,you can still visit this place.Right next to the the restaurant is the Martini Bar, where,you can have a cocktail.However,if you are not up to Dolce & Gabbana -for any reason-there are other restaurants with the same mentality,such as the famous Nobu at the Armani Hotel or the Restaurant at the Bulgari Hotel.
If you want to enjoy the views of the Duomo and take the best pictures,make sure you go after 9:00p.m. It is so strange,but it happens.Almost no one is around the square!It is so quiet and peaceful.
The truth is, that i was searching for a nice high floor terrace with Milan views.And i actually found it!It is called "The Globe". This fine looking lounge bar faces a beautiful square called "Piazza Cinque Giornate". There is also a restaurant, just in case you want to have dinner.The thing that truly made my night (except the views) was that: This place was almost full packed and the majority of the clients were locals.I was so happy!Italian was the only language i was hearing around!
The Globe is the perfect option for a spring or a summer evening.A good place to taste the delicious Italian wines!Plus:The prices are more than normal.
11:00 a.m. After some hours of sleep and a delicious breakfast at the Chateau Monfort (i have already said that i will dedicate an entire post-photo gallery to this beautiful and stylish hotel), i am ready to head to the heart of the city and walk through the most prestigious sights.
1.THE DUOMO: Again at the square.And what a surprise!It is totally different from last night!It is so crowded!However the Cathedral is the same stunning.It is so beautiful in the daylight too.
2:30 p.m. My time in Milan is running out.The last thing i want to do before i get into the car and continue my trip to the French Riviera is to enjoy a cup of cappuccino.I am entering a small,charming cafe and i am asking for take away.What a delightful moment!I am walking around the city's streets while drinking my cappuccino. Beautiful buildings,small pretty squares,trees,flower shops,the notorious tram of Milan passing by. Every moment in Milan,from the first to the last,was marvelous,just exactly like this.
3:00 p.m. I am already in the car,leaving.I am not upset.The only thing i am thinking is that:During these 20 hours,outstanding pictures passed through my eyes.I felt the energy of the city deep inside me.And,for me,this is the most important.
All pictures belong to my personal photo gallery. I used Nikon D5200, i Phone 5 and Sony Cybershot camera.
Love this city! Will visit some of the restaurants and places that you suggest next time!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos, I like Italy its one of the most beautiful city in Europe, but I don't like local taxi service, when I came to Milan I used only http://kiwitaxi.com/Italy/Milan+Malpensa+Airport this is the cheapest way to get from the airport or travel across the Milan fast, try to and I'm sure you'll like it.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of first importance, air terminal exchanges are extremely basic and clear: once you have achieved your goal, the driver will stack your gear into the auto and take you straight to your goal.milan malpensa transfer
