Advice on What to do while in Milan (and what not to do)

Do's

Don't's

Take a shopping trip to the nearby shopping precicnt in the Galleria del Corso. Drink the water from the numerous fountains - it is completely clean natural mineral water that comes from a underground source and is consequently ice cold Tip the waiters approximately 10% of the bill as service is generally not included Take a trip up to one of the lakes - lake Como or lake Maggiore are the most scenic In December go to Navigli and savour the festive atmosphere. Magical lights and torches decorate the ancient canals of Milan Go to San Siro to see the home of two of Italy's most celebrated clubs AC Milan and Inter Visit Leonardo Da Vincis Last Supper in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie If visiting the Duomo be sure to wear long trousers and a shirt or blouse which covers your shoulders - otherwise entry will be refused Stamp your metro or bus ticket - failure to do so will result in a minimum 50 Euro fine

Wear shorts or a t -shirt if you want to go and see the Duomo Ask why the Duomo was built so close to Metro If you get lost do not blame it on a lack of a grid like street system Order cappuccino after your evening meal - remember cappuccino in the morning and Espresso after lunch and dinner Tell people off for smoking, in Italy a very high percentage of the population smokes therefore people are very tolerant Eat spaghetti with a spoon - if you think you will make a mess just wear a bib by tucking your napkin into your shirt as thats allowed Tip taxi drivers, although not as bad as their Roman counterparts Milanese taxi drivers have still be known to rip tourists off - be careful Fill your wine glass to the top as this is a sign of poverty - it shows that you don't know where the next glass is coming from. Don't talk about the Mafia Don't openly support the North's claim to seperatism and devolution. This is a very sensitive issue as many people in Milan still want to remain part of the republic
