    My wife and I were just in Milan about a month ago. We flew into there from the US and stayed there for two days on both ends of our Bologna trip. We stayed in a lovely hotel just across from Castello Sforzesco and while the city seemed okay, it was definitely raining a lot, so we didn't explore that much. Thankfully we did have one sunny afternoon where packed in seeing the Castle, the Galleria, and the Duomo. Definitely liked the vibe of Bologna MUCH more, but then we were there for about 10 days and the weather was mostly better and we relaxed a lot more. I don't want to write off Milan, yet, though. I think we would've liked it more had we had more time to explore things. And I hope to go back someday.

    I was disappointed when I first visited Milan back in 2008 but I went without a plan and without money. I returned two years ago and had a very different experience. Liked it so much I'm going again this July. This video is right on time! Grazie mille!

    you have some niice buildings in Milan no question about it and good job to show some other angle to it. But the points you are trying to make is wrong. "Features of milan" as you said is valid if you live in MIlan. It is a different discussion to make "is milan a great city to live?" Or milan as "a great tourist destination". First can be true, second not so much. There are much nicer cities in Italy and in europe to "visit" for a few days or a week. And that is the reason it gets much hate, not because it has no advantages. i.e. living there rather than visiting.

    Being a tourist, I thought it was definitely worth a few days' visit. The food in itself makes it a worthwhile stop.

    The only place I've been that i hated in Italy so far is Pisa. I was spiked and robbed there. But even before that I didn't like it. Definitely a place to skip or only visit for couple hours max.

    I have been to Milan several times (most recently in November) and have always enjoyed it. It doesn't deserve its poor reputation. The science museum and Castello Sforzesco are well worth visiting. But I will confess my favourite Italian city - not that far from Milan - is Turin.

    Se il bambino è stato al pronto soccorso così tanto, significa che il problema non appariva urgente. Quando vai al pronto soccorso, non è che ti devi mettere in fila, ma in base alla gravità viene data la priorità ai casi più critici. Inoltre, se ti ricoverano per 10 giorni, è perché hai un problema grave diagnosticato, o sintomi gravi che richiedono indagini ed esami approfonditi; se così non fosse non ti ricoverano nemmeno.

    Hi and welcome! In December and January there aren't crowds anywhere, and both regions are stunning! I'd suggest Tuscany as I'd be a bit concerned about humidity and wind in Puglia in winter. Besides, Puglia is a great summer destination thanks to all the stunning places that are located near the sea!
