Top 6 Must Go Bars in Milan

Milan is full of bars, aperitivo places, places to chill and hang. But some of them are just too good that you should visit at least one time. Here's the list:

1) Mag Cafe: This bar is my favorite in Milan in Naviglio Grande. Their drinks are so good, the bartenders are so experienced and even tho you just tell them what a kind a taste you want they'll create something authentic just for you. No extra costs. The inside decoration is very warm and welcoming. You feel like home while you are there. The price of drinks change between 5-12€ and from 18.30 to 21.00 they serve a cheese and salami plate at each table and refill when finished.





2) Nottingham Forest: The seocnd bar famous for the drinks. The menu is like an encyclopedia and you have too many choices so you might need to go there several times just to taste different options where you can't find anywhere else. The bar is on Viale Piave where tram 9 passes.






3) Rita's Bar: Another cool bar with cool cocktails located in Naviglio Grande. If you are lucky you can find a place to sit and enjoy the dishes which are very delicious or you can take your drink and chill outside the bar with many other people.


4) Blue Note: If you like jazz this is the bar to go.It's a bit far in Via Pietro Borsieri, but the atmosphere and the music is really good. Trust me you won't regret!


5) Ugo: This bar is always full there is this long queue, not enough tables so everyone enjoys the drink standing up but they literally enjoy because it tastes awesome!!! Try this bar when you feel like walking around with your drink in your hand.


6) Atomic Bar: This bar offers good music, super nice environment and good drinks. Try this place in Porta Venezia especially on a Thursday night!

Top 4 Pizza Places in Milan

1) Fabbrica Pizzeria: Fabrica is a very well known pizzeria located in Naviglio Grande and Corso Como. Their pizzas are so good you can't resist the temptation of not finishing that big portion.


2) Bocconi Giusti: This is a popular spot especially for Bocconi students. It's 2mins away from the uni on Viale Bligny. They serve slices of pizza. If you want the whole thing you may need to wait for a while. This small spot has no tables inside basically you need to have a take out. In a nice weather you can enjoy your slice in the park which is nearby Parco Ravizza.


3) Spontini: If you are longing for a fat, thick slice of pizza then Spontini is the answer for you. They have multiple spots around the city. The most popular one is in Duomo again it's better to have a take away because there are no seats basically you enjoy your pizza on foot indoors. You can have a half or whole pizza as take away. If you want the restaurant atmosphere then try Spontini in Corso Buenos Aires or Piazza Cinque Giornata.


4) Princi Bakery: This place is famous basically for everything. What they do labels as focaccia but trust me on this one you won't be sorry. The amazing taste will blow your mind. You can check the one in Corso Como or Via Italia.

Milano Look Up! 7 beauties to see by looking up

After all the ancient Italian cities where there are the most appealing beauties are there on the streets you probably find Milan "new" and maybe a bit "industrialised". This is why “How on earth will I live in this awful city?” was my first reaction.  It took me some months to discover the beauties of Milan. 
First of all in Milan you have to discover the beauties, they won’t show themselves like in other cities. So what to look up for?


1) Did you now Milan is one of the most colourful cities? Just lift your head up and enjoy different colours of the buildings. While you are in Navigli, look up and see the rainbow coloured buildings and appreciate them. Then sit on a bar and sip your cocktail.



2) Milan is known for the shopping experience so while you are enjoying yourself in Viale Montenapoleone look down. Among the tiles on the pavement you may find personalized tiles such as this Versace one.

3) I don’t  know why Milan isn’t famous for its sunsets. But it literally has the pinkest sunsets. No matter where you are look up and enjoy the view of pink clouds.


4) There are some streets where you should walk and enjoy the beautiful buildings: Walk in Brera District, Via Cappuccini, Corso Como.

5) While you are in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele look at the walls with cameos and the beautiful glass ceiling.





















6) Porta Genova, Zona Tortona & Via Savona for the artsy movements and cool boutiques.

 7) Of course the gothic beauty of Duomo. Each sculpture is different from each other
