What We Saw:
What We Did: Bike & the City - 3 evening hour bike tour of Milan. Milan Bike Tour:
However captivating Milan is by day, it’s somehow even more so by night, when the city’s monuments are bathed in a soft evening glow and the glamorous Milanese sit outside enjoying their aperitivos (pre-dinner drinks). Soak up the ambiance on a route around the city center, taking in several sites seen in the morning and afternoon tours such as the Palestro neighborhood.

What We Ate: Noblesse Oblige - Crudités are one of the most important specialties of this Restaurant. Fresh fish, chosen personally by the chef every day, is cleaned and cut according to the best Japanese traditions. It is then accompanied by seasonal vegetables, cooked with top quality spices and condiments, in a constant quest for quality and sophisticated flavour. Seafood & Pasta are also on the menu.
Where We Stayed: The bus stand where the shuttles to and from all city's airport (Malpensa, Linate and Orio al serio) stop is located just 300 meters away from the apartment.
