So we're going to be showing you some of the best things to do in Milan.
We had 3 days in Milan so we hit the ground running and tried to see and do as much as possible. We made time for major attractions like Il Duomo, Sforza Castle, and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, but we also veered away from the crowds in search of street art and interesting neighborhoods.

Beautiful construction - do they have a school that teaches such artistic Architecture?
as a Milanese, I want to thank you both for providing an authentic representation of Milan and our cute little traditions of street art, aperitivo, fashion, and culture. Amazing short documentary! 10 out of 10 !
Thank you very much Peter! Really means a lot coming from a local.
Love Milan. There is alot more history than one knows. Really fascinating city.
+R. H. Hewitt I totally agree with you. I had no idea before visiting.

Milan is way too pretty! I loved seeing all the little neighborhoods!
+Natalie Etc Thank you!
I'm glad I found this video. I nearly skipped Milan and was going to only use it as an airport. Thanks to this video, I'll be staying at least two days on my way to Venice!
Oh, that is awesome to hear! I hope you have a great trip.
I love your guys vibe and chemistry that’s why I never unsub. I’m in Milan right now and having a good time. I’m staying at a friends apartment at Chinatown which is soo accessible to everything. Starbucks Roastery is just 25 minutes on foot and only a few minutes on a Bird scooter. Thanks guys for your vlogs. It’s helping a lot of tourists. Ciao!
Beautiful churches in Milano ❤
I stayed there for 4 days and unfortunately didn't have time to explore this whole beautiful city. You have tons of things to do inside and outside this place. Wonderful experience.
Thank you! It is a wonderful city to visit.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos It really is.
You have issues
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ll be travelling to Milan as my first solo trip and this has really helped plan my days. All the best to you 💗
Just one thing if you are first time in Milano: This city is incredible big. You can go there hundred times and you will still find new areas which you have not known before. This city is amazing!
That is great to hear!
I can't believe you didn't mention The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazi. This mural was painted on one of the church walls and is so inspiring. You MUST see this if you go to Milan.
Yes . Startling ommission.
More importnant was to show eating pizza obviously...
Sam and Audrey, good job guys!! I'm born in this wonderful city soooooo underrated for years and years! Finally Milan has found the right place as one of the top attractions in Italy and not only for fashion and shopping. And you guys showed many of these wonderful places in a very good way. Sure it is necessary a walking through Brera and City life and, of course, a visit to Santa Maria delle Grazie Church and The Last Supper. But, as always, a SUPER video!! Hugs. Renata
Thank you very much! I hope we can come back again to film a part 2 to cover what we missed.

Enfin une vidéo sympathique sur Milan. Bravo
I pressed like even before watching your video as your video was so helpful for me in Argentina. Thanks!
Thank you very much Giselle! Where did you visit in Argentina? We have a big Argentina series coming out again this year.
@@samuelandaudreyWe've been to recoleta cemetery, teatro colon, la boca, san telmo market, floralis generica, el ateneo, ecological reserve and etc. Also we've been to Colonia in Uruguay as day trip and it was awesome. Restaurant-wise, we like Voulez Bar in Parlemo(we've been twice), Brocolini, ChinChin, La Junta de 1810(near casa rosada), one in Four Seasons(forgot the name) and Quotidiano (near Evita museum). We are not huge meat fan and preferred Italian there.
thank you guys
Thank you!

+Lily Rojas Thank you very much!

+Ron T Thank you!
Piazza del Duomo at night, a concert at la Scala and the market on sunday morning at the navigli, where you can stroll, eat, see great people and buy antique books for a very low price. And I was very surprise that you compare pizza with the one we eat in Argentina.
That is cool to hear! Ah, we really like pizza from Argentina :)
thanks for the video...next year going to Italy, mainly Milan as it's a fashion city and related to my profession...can't wait!! :)
+Ritankar Sasmal That's awesome! I think you'll even appreciate the city more than we did.
+Samuel & Audrey Haha :)hope so
wow, what a great video. I'm so tired of travel vlogers saying: here is something that looks important but I don't know what it is. You guys are prepared and actually give me some useful information. Great content, thanks!
Fantastic video many thanks ❤❤
Thank you very much Metin!
Good videos! thanx. I spent a few hours in Milan getting over jet lag in 2002 b4 going to lake Como and onto Switzerland. Liked the Duomo, the food, the Last Supper, LdV and Brea museums as I had just taken an Art history class. Had a green slurpee which surprised me as I expected it to be lime but it was mint. As Kramer said on Seinfeld about Junior Mints, "Very refreshing!"
Well done, the history, the importance of present day Italy, and of course the food and art, culture, and more! Doing an Italy video is too much to do and handle. Bravo!
Thank you very much! We'll have more Italy videos coming out soon :)
Can't wait!
nice video guys. Will go there in a week so thanks for the traveling tips;)
+Jay Tripletwister Thanks! That's so cool. Hope you have a great time :)
You guys are awesome!
+Franky Pretorius Thank you!
I love you guys.. so fun.. so chill .. great Milan
Thank you very much! We love Milan :)
I'm from Milan. Thank you! It's not complete but really good and interesting :)
Thank you very much! What would be some suggestion for things to add?
i would add
Colonne (but at nightime)
Sempione , the park, the arch, the aperitivo
Last supper and santa maria delle grazie
Brera district (posh/romantic neighborhood)
Isola district (the hipster area)
San'tambrogio
San bernardino alle ossa (creeepy human bones covered chapel) :)
How's the cold? I'll be there this November. I'll have 4 spare days before I move to Paris. Which city/country I may go. My 1.5 year's son will be with us. So don't want to go very cold places. Thanks.
What would you suggest to do in Winter?
I'll be there next week Saturday.
where's a good place for aperitivo + buffet included in Milan? We were told that they don't serve buffet in the Duomo area
just stumbled across your video- I love your enthusiasm and thank you for this really nice video of my city ! i hope you enjoyed your trip :)
Thank you very much! We really enjoyed our time in Milan.
I live near Milan, and i've visited london, New York, Paris but Milan is always my favourite city, in my opinion is just perfect..
That is cool to hear! It really is underrated from a travel perspective.
Love your vlogs!
Thank you!
Great video! (As always!) ;)

Thanks!
great video helped a lot!
+Gina O Thank you very much!

My wife and I are meeting her parents over there in May. Can't wait to check out Milan! We've been to Venice, Florence and Rome, but this will be our first time in Milan. Great video; thank you!
+Mark Lowe Thank you! How exciting. I hop you have a wonderful time.
thanks for this useful content
Thank you very much!
Interesting looking place!
Love your videos
Thank you very much!
Very beatiful report, many compliments. I love visiting Milan sometimes. There is always something new to discover.
And... pizza al trancio is a type of pizza that we usually eat as "street food", but you souldn' miss to go to a pizzeria and eat the traditional round pizza sit at the table 😉 (the dough is different).
Thanks Roberto! Totally agree with you.
That's not cheese! That's mozzarella
M O Z Z A R E L L A
Non offendete la pizza, per l'amor del cielo!
Luigi Di Fabio Yeahhh but Mozzarella is a kind of cheese
Viviana Bartolillo way cheesier than cheese
Hi! 💗 By any chance do you remember the name of the café you got the pecan pastry from?
Good shots, good flow.
I'm aiming to get myself into the University Of Milan, hope I can make it!
Great to hear that! Best wishes!
Same here I choose polimi
Italy probably has the best food (In my opinion THE best food)!!!
We didn't have a single bad meal in Italy.
Hi, we make a video on us channel about Milan, what do you thinking ? (Subscribe if you liked it)
For sure you haven't been in Asia
No it s in France
Now I want some lol
Valuable information...Thanks for sharing it. :):)
Thanks!
Very Helpful !
Thank you!
Relating northern Italy with the sound of mandolins is equivalent to relating the Northeast US with banjo&country music.
Great video, I really appreciate your coverage! Next time I suggest visiting Brera district too, which is famous for the Pinacoteca Museum and it is consider the "artists' area" of the city. Another cool thing would be visiting the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio, which is very ancient and it is just next to the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Catholic University), really beautiful. Hope you noticed the golden statue of the Virgin on the top of Duomo's higher spire: that is the real symbol of Milano!
Thanks for the great suggestions! I hope we can revisit again soon :)
aaaaaaaa Italy is my dream destination
Veramente interessante, complimenti
I'm, Milanese and I enjoyed your lovely vlog! :) like and subscribed of course!
Hello, hopefully I will be there by september 2020 for educational purposes. I'm fluent in English and Turkish and I know a little Spanish, how long do you think it'll take me to learn Italian and become fluent in it? Thank you already!
very intersting
I'm always watching your channel in Spanish but this channel has millions of views every video and that's impressive. Even the style of the channel is very different, very professional and cosmopolitan
Thank you very much! We're having so much fun with the Spanish channel because it is a family project.
@@samuelandaudrey Yes, I think is true. The videos are family oriented and very nice project, so kind and lovely
very nice . thanks a lot .
Thank you very much!
I Miss Milan , the food the open Markets the coffee the people
I know what you mean! We miss it as well.
Very nice video! There's a lot more (Brera, The Last Supper by Leonardo and the "900 museum for example) but I like your synthesis anyway. Come back soon! Greetings from Milan!
Thank you very much! I hope we can come back again soon :)
Carlo Defilippi check out Il bacio di Hayez (famous painting at Brera).

nice guide, I wish I could go back to Milan
Thank you! Hope you can go back again soon :)
Thanks for you input. I am thinking about visit this city in the next time. This video is so good for me. I don´t know if you have do another video to the diferent areas of the city. THANKS.
Very clear vid & sound ! Very good
Thanks!
Thx for this vid
THank you!
thank you for this informative Video. Do you have an advice on what to do first, second and third if you arrive at the bus station Lampugnano? Like a logical sequence? I only have one day in Milano.
I loved the video! I´m going to spend 5 days in Milan, in May. I can say that I´m ready to get fat because the pizza looks delicious!!
+Elizabeth Oliveira Thank you! How exciting. If you're like us you can plan to lose some weight after the trip but not during ;)
È da tanto che non mi faccio u. Aperitivo sui Navigli, mi sa che stasera ci vado!
Grazie per l'idea .
Very nice videos :) well done!
Going to Milan in April. Thanks or the great tips!!
+Kristi Smit That's cool! Hope you have a great trip :)
+Kristi Smit want a good tip? Do not eat in any resturant in corso Vittorio Emanuele or via Dante. If a resturant have posters with pictures of dishes or show hits food on the street, is a scam! stay away from those places
