Local knowledge for Milan

Where to stay

Most affordable hostels cluster around Loreto, where the M1 and M2 metro lines cross, putting you one stop from Centrale station and a short ride to everything else. Navigli is the other solid base: the streets along Naviglio Grande have hostels, cheap eats, and the last-Sunday-of-the-month flea market all within walking distance.

Getting around

  • The aperitivo ritual runs roughly 6 to 9pm at most bars in Navigli and Isola. Buy one drink and you get access to a free food spread, which can easily substitute for dinner.
  • The Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie books out months ahead. Check the official cenacolovinciano.org early in the morning you want to go for last-minute cancellations.
  • An ATM 24-hour transit pass costs a few euros and covers unlimited metro and tram rides. Buy one if you are making more than three trips in a day, otherwise singles are cheap each are fine.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest in November and during July and August when the city empties out. Prices spike hard around Salone del Mobile in April and both Fashion Weeks in February and September, so book well ahead or avoid those weeks entirely.
