Lets get ready to travel Milan, Issues are
1- Which airport to take
2- How will I reach Center
3- Where to stay
4- How much it will cost
From search on internet and information from friends staying in Milan, I am up to following knowledge
1- Its not actually a tourist city and mostly famous for expo and business meeting, just a church and few ruins form Roman empire can be the tourist attraction.
2- Its not safe in night and Mian people are clever to cheat you.
3- Its highly overrated city and few night stay will cost more then any average EU city.
4- Its mixture of many nationalities and I will experience something mixture for many foreigners living in this city.
First things First>>>>>WHICH airport
MILAN has 3 airports
1-Malpensa airport, (MXP) it is located East of Milan and most of the International flight uses this airport
2-Linate airport, nearest from the center of the city and often used for domenstic flights in Italy
3- Bergamo airport, its located west of Milan and actually its not for city Milann but many cheap airlines uses this airport and show it as Milan airport in their websites.
So It is decided that I will be using the MXP airport by Czech Airlines from Prague to Milan,
How to reach Center
The train leaves every 30 min from the MXP airport and cost 12 Euro per one way and 18Euro for 2 way. Thejourney takes 30 min without stops and 45 min if train make stops. The train station is located at terminal 1.time table and online tickets can be found here http://www.malpensaexpress.it/it/malpensa-express/home.aspx
The buses are also available and takes nearly 1 hour to reach to the central station and cost 8-10 Euro.
Where to stay
I book hotel from www.booking.com and found Milan really expensive. even 2 or 3 star hotels are nearly 70Euro per night. I like staying near the center so I can see the city in night walking but Milan reviews shows that center parts are not soo safe in the night and it will be a difficult choice to make, but Metro looks like goes every where in the city.
Hopefully 300 Euro for 3 nights with food will be a good deal.
Things to see
very short choice
1- Milan cathedral
2- Roman ruins
3- Sforza castle
Hope to have a good stay. I will share my experience after travel
