We didn’t go for the coffee, we went for the activity! We had some great coffee while in Italy for the week (this was only showing our 3-4 hours in Milan while travelling home) 😊
Don’t worry, we spent a week in Italy before this and didn’t hit up a single Starbucks 😊 Seriously though, we went to the Reserve Roastery specifically because we were only there for an afternoon on our way home from Lake Como, we wanted to see the coffee being roasted, and it was right beside the Duomo di Milano! We had a great time in the city.
AND they spent 26 dollars for coffee in Italy ... almost a month's coffee budget of an average Italian 😳 (maybe not Milan) There are literally a 100 other things they could have done. This is a what NOT to do travel guide in Milan.
For 26€ I expect a massage with the coffee. Even one drank sitting down at caffè Armani would be cheaper, at the counter costs just as much as any bar in the city. The 15€ each for pizza was quite steep too, unless you went to a fancy pizzeria with nice ingredients. At a take away/small pizza joints it's about 6€ for a margherita and coke. Tips for those travelling to Italy. Stay the fuck away from tourist spots and go eat where locals go.
Maybe next time spend 5euros max for breakfast by choosing a regular bar instead of Starbucks, and with the money you save go on top of the Duomo! When in Italy, splurge on culture, not on American corporations taking business away from small local shops
It wasn’t breakfast, it was about 4:00 in the afternoon! We only spent 3-4 hours exploring on our final afternoon in Italy 😊 but thank you for your comment!
I was in Duomo and if you a history buff like me, you certainly should go inside. It costed me like only 8 euros. There's stunning gothic architecture and saints are burried under the floor, so catholic. There's also a museum near it and an archeological site under Duomo, which are also included to a ticket. Another historical site is the castle Sforza, where you can learn the history of Milan and Lombardy
I couldn’t believe she said the only reason to go in was for a view out! I’ve travelled all over Italy, but never to Milan since I’m not interested in the designer shopping. Seeing that cathedral made me want to go! All the wealth of the past went into these buildings - I’m fascinated to see inside! Thanks for your comment that further elevated my curiosity!
Thank you for sharing! This was a quick pit stop on our way home from Lake Como, but we would’ve loved to explore more if we had the time 😊 hopefully in the future!
I live in Milan, but I haven't entered the Duomo in years, I didn't know there was a fee now, or do you mean to go to the roof? Churches should be free to enter afaik
@@Suzanna-chez-moi Milano's not just Fashion. It's a place full of Art and Culture, with lots of musems. Castello Sforzesco, Santa Maria Delle Grazie with Leonardo's Last Supper, Sant'Ambrogio Church, Navigli, Brera pictoresque area are just few of this place's many sights.
you wanted to spend less than 50 dollars and then you go and have breakfast at the most expensive cafe you could find... and you didn't even have lunch
@@michaelssali that’s a pretty ignorant argument. Using that metric, every moment of every day is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Doesn’t that dilute the grander?
Starbucks??? I travel to Italy every year. I would never visit an American chain for any food. You missed the opportunity to experience what Milan really has to offer.
Not really a how to visit Milan on less than $50. I'm sure you had fun. I would have skipped the factory tour and checked out the Duomo or headed to see The Last Supper
We wish we could’ve went to The Last Supper! We only had 3-4 hours in the city (and we were pretty exhausted after spending the past several days in Lake Como), so we stuck to the three attractions that were really close together. Hopefully we’ll be back one day. 😊
Hi Guys, I am so jealous of you. I spent most of my life in Milan. Seven years ago I moved in Perth Australia but I still missing Milan. Thanks for this Video. I really appreciate 😊
I understand what are you saying. But you are saying spent. But you are not saying how much money are you hiring daily wages.means you are earning a one day much more rather then spent
So you didn’t bother going inside the Duomo for small fee, but wasted 30$ on pizza? What about The Last Supper? Or the Breca? Sforza Castle? What a waste of your time in Milan.
We were in Milan for 3-4 hours after spending a week in Lake Como - we didn’t have time to do much and were pretty tired, so we kept it very simple. We would’ve loved to see The Last Supper + other sights - hopefully we’ll be back in the future! We had a great few hours, though. 😊
the italian pizza is way different from the american one, not just for the taste and look, but: leavening, ingredients, the preparation method, ... bla bla bla make (italian) pizza a pretty light meal. And if you go to Italy, you'll see every single person eating the whole pizza alone. I'm not a pizzaiolo and I can't speak english very well (yes I'm Italian:p) so I don't know how to make this "understandable" ~ To be precise there are sooo many tipes of pizzas, the "trancio" one (is basically only one huge slice and it's not plane), the "al taglio" one (so many little different slices in a square cut), the roman and so on, but I'm talking about the traditional one (that they ate in the video) ~ All the tipes of pizza are obv a full meal (for lunch or dinner), but is actually lighter then the american one. As I said I can't speak english well but hope it helps!!❤
@@neznamtija8081so have I. I lived there for awhile too. I speak the language and thus don't need to stick to tourist traps. Nearly every bar will offer at LEAST cappuccino, caffè latte, and macchiato, in addition to "black coffee" ie espresso.
Went all the way to Italy but got coffee and pastries from a mediocre, expensive American chain of all places. Che sacrilegio 😢
We had so many other coffees and pastries, we promise! Thank you for commenting 😊
Only the "americans"
About to say the same thing....
Agreed
Starbucks.. in milan!!! Come on!!
$26 at Starbucks in Italy wtf!!! You coulda got a brilliant coffee elsewhere for like 2 euros!
We didn’t go for the coffee, we went for the activity! We had some great coffee while in Italy for the week (this was only showing our 3-4 hours in Milan while travelling home) 😊
Its Starbucks reserve theres one in Seattle and its awesome. It can be a more artisanal experience depending on what you order.
There’s a reason why 99% of the crowd in that place are tourists, trust me ahah
Go to Milan and go to Starbucks??????WTF
Don’t worry, we spent a week in Italy before this and didn’t hit up a single Starbucks 😊

Not going to Starbucks in Italy 😢
Starbucks in Milan ,really?
Walk 5 minutes from the Duomo and you could have a decent coffee. Not that ghastly Starbucks crap, and for less than 2 euros.
U can have a decent coffee always in Italy
Agree, and for that money, she could have had a full Italian lunch+coffee for 2 people.
“It’s an expensive city…. So we took a boat ride in from lake como” (one of the most expensive places to stay in Italy)
We were at a wedding 😊
going to milan and get coffee from a foreign coffee shop and spend 20 euros😊
Meanwhile, in any other cafe of Milan a coffee with a croissant it would have been something like €3 😂
Like I said, expensive for a snack, but not for a snack + activity 😊
@marielang9474McDonald's
And more delicious
@marielang9474eating the croissant 😂😂
you wanted to spend less than 50 dollars and then you go and have breakfast at the most expensive cafe you could find...
and you didn't even have lunch
We got to Milan at 3:00pm! It was a snack / activity, not breakfast or lunch 😊
I reckon an actual Italian cafe would have been cheaper + better quality too. Why have Starbucks when Milan has good coffee and pastries?
Beautiful country Italy 💚🤍❤🌹🇮🇹🇪🇺🌹💚🤍❤👍🏽💯
Wtf spend half your budget on Starbucks and skip spending money on an experience
You will spend 50 dollars 💸 just getting a coffee! Sitting 🪑 down to have a break is expensive 😆
If I went to Milan, there's no way I'd spend just $50/day. I'll splurge; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
That’s fair! We had already splurged in Lake Como, so this was our ‘let’s spend a quick 3-4 hours seeing Milan before we head home’ moment 😊
Why is it a once in a lifetime opportunity?
@@discocycle because I'll never be able to be in Milan again at that particular moment in the history of time.
@@michaelssali that’s a pretty ignorant argument. Using that metric, every moment of every day is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Doesn’t that dilute the grander?
I mean it’s already expensive to get there and stay there maybe there’s not a lot of money left in the budget…
Starbucks??? I travel to Italy every year. I would never visit an American chain for any food. You missed the opportunity to experience what Milan really has to offer.
I think seeing the roastery would be so cool!
Why travel all the way to italy and have starbucks iso local coffee 😂
This looks like such a fun day 😻
We had a great time! 😊
Not really a how to visit Milan on less than $50. I'm sure you had fun. I would have skipped the factory tour and checked out the Duomo or headed to see The Last Supper

@@stephandden3-4 hours including 2 hours in Starbucks or was that extra?
$30 for pizza in Milano?! Thats too high - did you eat inside Galleria Vittorio Emannuele?

Thanks for your comment! 😊
That looks beautiful! Was the pizza good? 👍🏾
It was delicious! So glad we found a good spot 😊
@@stephandden Eating pizza in Milan is even worse than going to Italy and go to starbuck.....
@amenadito8079 what would you recommend?
Se vieni in Italia e vai a bere il
Caffè da Starbucks non hai proprio capito niente
verissimo
I understand what are you saying. But you are saying spent. But you are not saying how much money are you hiring daily wages.means you are earning a one day much more rather then spent
Why coffee/ pastry.? Why not a bargain place with ladies fashion items
God, no other place on earth like ITALY.
GOD BLESS THE ITALIANS.
Thank you. Likewise. Greetings from Milano. 🙋♀️🙏
Milan is cheaper than Swiss
What time of year did you go to Milan?
Mid October 😊 the weather was still pretty nice!
@@stephandden Thanks!
And you never had Italian coffee and cookies
How much was your hotel?
We paid $271.39 for one night at the Ibis in Milan Central 😊
Italy is Magnificent
So you didn’t bother going inside the Duomo for small fee, but wasted 30$ on pizza? What about The Last Supper? Or the Breca? Sforza Castle? What a waste of your time in Milan.

Your bf/husband has flawless skin
Thank you! 🙏🏿
Yep I choose hot chocolate over tea and coffee any day haha
The food in Italy its not expensive everything else is i would splurge too in Italy they good shoes and clothes love Italy
Why go to Starbucks dirty to say it’s shit. Go to the cafe bars experience Italian cibo😳
Can you continue the tour guide, please?
Sky is the limit anywhere you go. Depends on your budget.
It is okay to spend a bit more. It is an experience.
Yes, it is! We had already spent a week in Lake Como before this, and only had an afternoon to spend in Milan before heading home 😊
Good choice for going to Starbucks. Although youu could’ve gone to the McDonalds instead of getting that devious pizza
Cool ❤
23€ been there for a day before two weeks
and there is lot of pickpocketing in Milan
It’s plenty, but if you say it, you became a racist… our country is beautiful but really strange
Do you guys both eat whole pizzas? 😂

Vi hanno fregato alla grande😅

30 Dollar for 1 Pizza😮?
No, 2 pizze and drinks
Food in italy sucks except for lampradotto, cured meats and cheese. Had to start grocery shopping, missing thailands food BAD
I travelled 6 cities in Europe, never went to any starbucks or mcdonalds.
I did go to KFC in Barcelona though, as I was so hungry and craving for kfc😂
I always go to McDonald's atleast once to check the local items
If you’re going to a Catholic Church, tell them you’re going there to pray. You don’t get charged then.
How do Italians afford living there on their salaries?!?
By not going to fucking Starbucks lol
