The Milan City Guides deal with what visitors really ask: where to eat cotoletta and risotto without the Duomo-square markup, how to see the Last Supper without paying a reseller, which churches and viewpoints cost nothing, and which lake you can see in a day and still be back for dinner. Each guide is a short list with clear opinions, giving every place a reason to go, what to order or look out for and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Budget guide

Three places from the guides
Osteria del Treno
Via San Gregorio, near Centrale station
Once the canteen of Milan’s railway workers, now a big hall with shared tables and a serious wine list. The risotto with bone marrow is the dish people come for, and the portions send nobody home hungry. From the food guide.
Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore
Corso Magenta 15
Plain from the street, overwhelming inside: Luini frescoes cover every wall and vault, which is why it is called the Sistine Chapel of Milan. A wall once split it between the nuns and the public. Free, and rarely crowded. From the things to do guide.
Funicolare Città Alta
Bergamo, 55 minutes by train from Milano Centrale
The funicular lifts you from Bergamo’s lower town to the walled medieval upper town for the price of a city bus ticket. At the top, walk the Venetian walls and try polenta and casoncelli in the old streets. From the day trips guide.
Finish the game, then open the guide
World City Trail’s Milan scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides carry on from there: a panzerotto behind the Duomo, aperitivo in Brera, a regional train to Lake Como or a free church covered in frescoes on a rainy morning.
