Best Time to visit Milan
The best time to visit Milan is during the months of May and June, when weather is warm and temperatures are pleasant. Summer is peak travel season and hotel prices are considerably high.
Be aware that during Fashion week (happens twice a year, during February and September) prices sky-rocket throughout the whole city and accommodation is scarce, so make sure you book in advance. October and November are also affordable choices, if you do not mind cold weather and rain.
Accommodation in Milan
As in most cities, the farther from the centre, the more affordable the accommodation is. For budget lodgings choose the areas of Maciachini, Bovisa or Porta Ticinese. No matter where you stay, you will not need a car in Milan.
Milan has a wonderful network of buses, trains, and metro stations and the historic center is also very manageable on foot.
