Hello,

I'm heading to Paris and Milan over spring break (3/12-3/18) and would like to ask any previous visitors for advice regarding the following. I have the flights and paris hotel booked but still need a milan hotel.


1. Besides the last supper in milan, is there any place or experiences I should book/reserve months or weeks in advance

2. Does anyone have any milan hotel recommendations? I'm going on a budget as I am a college student, looking for <$140 if possible per night (for the 15-18) I have had suggestions for Hotel Berna. If anyone could give me a past review on that I would appreciate it.

3. Suggestions for restaurants are also appreciated!

Thanks

It was rated very high (#5) by Tripadvisor.com. That is hard to beat. You may want to try to stay closer to the Duomo but prices get higher or the quality drops the closer you get.

Get Last Supper tickets NOW! Don't wait. They get bought up months ahead of time.
Have fun. I love Milan.

I was there last year. I stayed at the Art Navgli, which is by the Navgli hotel. Hotel wasn't the greatest, it was ok I guess...I'd recomend something closer. Really had a great pizza It is an interesting bohemian neighborhood but if you're only there for two days I'd stay somewhere a bit more in the center of things. The river is nice though and they have a boat that goes there I believe, and its a nice walk.

Make sure to check out Castle Sforza. Its pretty sprawling and has some interesting architecture and a nice park in the back.

Thanks for the tips.

Anything for restaurants and such? It seems Yelp/tripadvisor isnt always the best place for such information. Perhaps two budget friendly local places and one more upscale
