beautiful & clean city!

In August this smelly place is so full of tourists that the fastest way to
go around is swimming in canals.

Were Milan in any other country than Italy, people would be flocking to
its touristic seightseeing possibilities. We are talking a place where
you have a Michelangelo Pietà, a few Renaissance important paintings, a
Bramante architecture, a Leonardo fresco, a Gothic cathedral, a
neoclassical villa and so many 17th century paintings that you wouldn't
be able to number them.

The problem with Milan is that it is in a country where almost every
place has its share of museums, cathedrals and villas, so it gets lost
in the cultural noise.


It also has an interesting medieval past, come to think of it. Perhaps
one day...

One problem with Milan is that it does not present itself very well
to a first time visitor. If you take the shuttle from the airport
you will arrive at the main central rail station, and from there it is
a least a half hour on foot to the parts of Milan , that are of
interest to the visitor.
(That is, if you don`t take the metro- recommended and inexpensive :
1.25 euro.)
I like Milan as well - a very nice and comfortable city to stroll
around in.

Following up to Dominique Foucart

1. French Rhones-alpes area (whith Vezelay, Lyon, Annecy etc... all
listing 3 stars restaurants)
2. Belgium (with Brussels, Brugge and Namur listing 3 stars
restaurants)
3. Paris
4. Switzerland (a couple of very highly rated restaurants all over the
country, probably a must is around the Lac Leman)

do you think Mitchelin might be biased towards French food?

No, and neither is Michelin.

manc1976's list of the top 5 as:
Manchester
Leeds
Newcastle

Sheffield
Stoke on Trent

which I thought was made in jest.



I wasn't takin' the **** at all.

oooh

ok maybe

Top 5
European Cities, and this time for real
Paris

Budapest

I still think
Manchester is up there. since the IRA bombing of 1996, the place has
reinvented itself in 8 years. I'm obviously biased.
