Welcome to Milan. Italy’s second largest city, fashion capital of the planet and birthplace of one of the world’s greatest institutions – ‘happy hour’ drinks. This is a city made for enormous sunglasses and pure indulgence – whether that’s your love of shopping, ancient works of art, drinks in the sunshine, or enormous bowls of cheese-covered carbohydrates. Given the amount of celebrities that frequent the city, no night is a quiet night for Milan’s bars and clubs. The best hostels in Milan help you keep accommodation costs down, so you can splash the cash on making the most of the city.
