The best time to visit Milan
Along with its status as one of the world’s core fashion districts, Milan is also the most economically productive city in Italy. Despite lacking the extraordinary beauty of Florence or Venice, Milan still boasts a number of great jewels. The most famous site is the Duomo, which is one of the largest and best preserved Gothic cathedrals in existence. Meanwhile, the city also hosts a number of prestigious art galleries, such as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and the Brera gallery.
The good news is that it is possible to visit Milan at any time of the year and explore the city’s key sights. However, the winter can be particularly cold when the wind blows from the northeast and thick fog descends over the valley Likewise, autumn is often characterised by high levels of rainfall and a lack of sunshine, however it can often remain warm well into October. For tourists hoping to spend most of their time outdoors, the best months to visit are May, June and September, when temperatures are warm but not oppressive. During July and August temperatures frequently exceed 32 degrees Celsius, although the summer heat is not as extreme in cities such as Florence or Rome. In August the city can become almost deserted after the locals flock to the coast for their annual holidays. However, during the weeks running up to Christmas becomes crowded with tourists and impressive illumination displays surround the Duomo. This is often the busiest time of the year, when most hotel rooms (similar to an oriental Brighton boutique hotel!) are booked well in advance.
