Best Time & Weather
The best time to visit Milan for a luxury escape is during the spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, and the city's fashion and design calendars are in full swing. Summers can be quite humid and hot, while many high-end boutiques and restaurants close during the mid-August Ferragosto holiday.
Currency & Money
Italy uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are universally accepted in Milan, especially in high-end establishments, but it is always wise to carry a small amount of cash for small purchases or tips. While tipping is not mandatory in Italy, a service charge is often included; however, leaving an extra 5-10% at high-end restaurants for exceptional service is a appreciated gesture of sophistication.
Getting Around
For a premium experience, private car services and taxis (accessible via the App Taxi or Free Now apps) are the preferred methods of transport. Milan’s metro system is exceptionally clean and efficient for quick transfers between districts like Brera and Navigli. For day trips to places like Lake Como, a private driver is highly recommended to maintain the comfort of your luxury escape.
