My apologies to those who read and/or contributed to a thread on Milan that was deleted yesterday, as a lapse in concentration meant that I made one recommendation and linked two websites in violation of the rules.
It is a pity because although Milan is not as attractive a city as Venice, Bologna or Genoa, to name three of my favourites, it does have a lot to offer, from high end to low end shopping, the superb collection of paintings in the Brera collection, and the opera at La Scala -they sell tickets to Galleria I and II on the day if you don't mind queuing for hours, though on the night I went I thought the booing from Galleria I was childish, the singing wasn't that bad. There are also some splendid examples of renassance architecture, the Castello Sforzesco being the most obvious. There are -or were- at least four night clubs of interest to HA members. These details are available on websites but it is up to members to seek them out, and as I think is standard at the moment, Covid restrictions apply, so it may be that unless you live in Italy or have reason to be in Milan, a trip to this fascinating city must be postponed for the future, not right now.
