Book The Monocle Travel Guide, Milan

Few things will be served on a plate in Milan – except, perhaps, a generous helping of rich, creamy risotto with ossobuco. The Lombard capital has an enviable wealth of restaurants, shops and galleries, but the best are often hard to find. That's where we come in. We'll take you to the best bars for a negroni and reveal the hotels we want to visit, from sophisticated Renaissance palaces to cozy family boutiques. Milan has a reputation for being hardworking, but look in the right places and you'll find that they also know how to let their hair down. Don't just take our word for it: don your smartest gear and see for yourself.

The Monocle Travel Guide series reveals our favorite places in each city we cover, from the ideal route for a morning jog to the best independent retail spots. Full of surprises and quirks, they also feature in-depth pages of design and architecture, neighborhood walks to escape the crowds, and our favorite places to eat for everything, whether it's tasty fast food or something truly celebratory.
