Welcome to Milan!
Benvenuti a Milano! Celebrated for both its Renaissance art and 20th-century style, Milan is the largest city in Lombardy. This northern metropolis is also the business capital of Italy — blending ancient Germanic culture with Roman customs. Today its work ethic is as prized as its creamy saffron risotto.
Let us help you find a hotel in this global hub of finance, industry, and fashion. In the historic center, enjoy works by Leonardo da Vinci, a dozen museums, and bold architecture. Attend an opera at La Scala. After a few days, venture north to explore scenic Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Bergamo.
Milan is also a major site of conventions and exhibitions, the largest being the Fiera Milano Rho in the suburb of Rho. Hotel prices swell during the Salone del Mobile (Furniture Fair) in mid-April. A sister exhibition hall, Fiera Milano City, is within Milan (Portello district), next to the Allianz MiCo convention center, and hosts fashion weeks and smaller expos. Both are served by the M1 metro line. (As the second-most populous city in Italy and a European gateway, metro and rail connections are excellent).
Choose your favorite lodging before arriving. Be mindful that Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo (in the Dolomites) will jointly host the 2026 Winter Olympic Games from February 6 through 22.
