What are the pros and cons of living in Milan?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Milan responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Milan often appreciate the city's vibrant culture, excellent cuisine, and convenient public transportation. They also enjoy the city's many parks and green spaces, as well as its proximity to other major cities in Europe. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the cost of living in Milan to be quite high, and the city can be quite crowded and noisy. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who don't speak Italian," explained one expat in Milan.
