💡 Practical Tips for Milan

🚇Purchase a Milan Card for unlimited public transport access and museum discounts, or use the efficient metro system combined with trams and buses to navigate the city.

💳While card payments are widely accepted, carry some euros for small vendors and restaurants, and inform your bank of travel dates to avoid transaction blocks.

🌡Visit during spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) for pleasant weather; avoid August when many locals leave and businesses close for summer holidays.

🗣Learn basic Italian phrases as English is less widely spoken outside tourist areas, and always greet shopkeepers with respect, as politeness is valued in Italian culture.
