What do people like (and dislike) about Milan?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Milan, they replied...

"People often like Milan for its dynamic lifestyle, rich cultural scene, and status as a fashion and design capital. The city's efficient public transportation, high-quality healthcare, and educational institutions are also appreciated. On the downside, the high cost of living, particularly for housing, can be a significant drawback, and some may find the city's fast-paced, work-oriented environment less appealing compared to the more relaxed lifestyle in other parts of Italy," wrote Brian Viola from Italian For A While.

"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 who made the move to Milan, Italy.
