Is Milan ACTUALLY worth visiting?! 🇮🇹
When most people plan a trip to Italy, they think of Rome, Florence, Venice, or the Amalfi Coast. But Milan is one of the most visited cities in the country — and also one of the most misunderstood.

Known for fashion, luxury shopping, and business, many travellers pass through Milan without spending much time here. So on my very first visit, I wanted to find out what Milan is really like beyond the stereotypes.
Over the next few days, I explore both sides of the city: first visiting Milan's most iconic attractions, including the famous Duomo di Milano and historic city centre, before discovering a more local side with the help of a friend who actually lives here.
From incredible Italian food and hidden neighbourhoods to local recommendations and unexpected surprises, this travel vlog is my honest first impression of Milan, Italy.
So... is Milan actually worth visiting? Let's find out.
