Getting around

Milan is fairly walkable but it is also the second largest city in Italy.  As such, many piazzas and areas of town are walking friendly and others are not so much.  However, public transportation in Milan is super easy!  If you aren’t able to walk where you’re looking to go you can most certainly take a train or the subway or even take an Uber or taxi.  You’ve got plenty of options.

• Walk
• Train/Subway
• Uber
