travelling guideline:

1. The public security in Italy is poor, so be especially careful of thieves. Be sure to keep an eye on your belongings in crowded places such as subway stations and train stations. Be careful of black street vendors, most of whom sell fake luxury goods, or say they are giving away for free and then ask for money. If you see them, ignore them. Also, don't believe in free pigeon feeding in the square, as these are charged.

2. Most shopping malls in Milan close at 19:30, except for La Rinascente. Specialty stores generally close at 19:00, but some close at 19:30. Most restaurants are open from noon to 14:30, and have a lunch break at noon.

3. To Santa Maria Monastery To visit "The Last Supper", you need to make an appointment online or by phone 2 months in advance.

4. Milan city tax is about 3 to 5 Euros per person per night, so please check it carefully when booking a room.

Shopping recommendations:

Food: Milanese food belongs to the northern cuisine of Italy. Most of the food is cooked with rice, fish, corn, beef and other ingredients, and cheese and beef are used for seasoning. Milanese desserts are famous all over the world, and polenta is one of them. Other famous dishes include scaloppina milanese, ossobuco, and minestrone. The soft and delicious Milanese cake and the unique Milanese risotto are both Milanese specialties that you must try. Of course, Lombardy cheese is also indispensable among the specialties. Lombardy cheese added with local specialty red wine has a strong wine and milk flavor and is a rare boutique among many cheeses.

Shopping: The most famous area is the Golden Quadrilateral: the area surrounded by Montenapoleone Street, S.Andrea Street, Spiga Street and Borgospesso Street. Almost all the world's famous brands are concentrated here. The summer discount season usually starts from July to mid-August, and the winter season is in January and February.
