Book Cheap Flights to Milan and explore the Italian fashion capital

Spring is one of the most pleasant times to visit Italy. Temperatures are mild, ranging between 10°C and 20°C, perfect for walking through Sempione Park. Flight prices to Milan tend to be moderate before the start of summer. It is the ideal time to see the city bloom and enjoy the sidewalk cafes in Brera. We recommend visiting the Brera Botanical Garden and enjoying Milan Design Week in April, one of the largest events in the world. Hotel demand rises during this event, so book in advance. Seasonal cuisine highlights fresh asparagus and artichokes in local markets.

Summer marks the high season. Expect long, sunny days and temperatures that can exceed 30°C. This is the school holiday period in Europe, which raises the price of tickets to Milan. To save money, look for flights with layovers to Milan. The city becomes vibrant with outdoor events, although many locals travel to the coast in August. It is the perfect time for day trips to Lake Como or Lake Garda, accessible by train. Be sure to try artisanal gelato and enjoy the warm nights in the Navigli district. Remember that queues for attractions like the Duomo will be longer.

Autumn brings golden colors and the famous Milan Fashion Week in September. Temperatures begin to drop, creating a cool and romantic atmosphere. In November, you will find tickets to Milan in the low season, making it the cheapest month to fly from Brazil. It is the season of rich gastronomy, with truffles and porcini mushrooms dominating restaurant menus. Visit the Pinacoteca di Brera without the summer crowds. It is an excellent period for those seeking economical flights to Milan who prefer a quieter travel pace, exploring museums and art galleries at leisure.

Winter is cold, with occasional chances of snow, creating a magical setting, especially during Christmas. The lights in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II are spectacular. January is the time for major sales in designer stores, attracting fashion lovers. Except for the end-of-year holidays, airfare prices to Milan are usually low. It is the best time to enjoy an authentic Risotto alla Milanese or a thick hot chocolate. If you like skiing, Milan serves as a gateway to the Italian Alps. Enjoy the opera season at Teatro alla Scala, which traditionally opens on December 7.

Milan has an excellent public transport system consisting of metro, trams, and buses. The metro is the fastest way to cross the city, while historic trams offer a charming ride. For those arriving via Malpensa, the Malpensa Express train is the most efficient connection to Milano Cadorna or Milano Centrale station. Avoid renting a car in the center due to limited traffic zones (ZTL) and parking difficulties. Use the MilanoCard for unlimited travel and discounts at museums.

Don't leave Milan without trying Risotto alla Milanese (with saffron) and Cotoletta alla Milanese. The 'Aperitivo' ritual is sacred: between 6 PM and 9 PM, order a drink (like the Negroni Sbagliato, invented here) and enjoy the included snack buffet. For an authentic and cheap experience, look for 'Trattorias' outside the Duomo tourist circuit. In the Brera neighborhood, you will find charming options, while in Navigli the atmosphere is more relaxed and youthful.

To explore the city like a local, visit the Isola neighborhood. Formerly a working-class area, today it is a stronghold of urban art, independent shops, and jazz bars. Another tip is to visit the Cimitero Monumentale; it may seem strange, but it is a true open-air museum with incredible sculptures from wealthy Milanese families. Avoid eating at restaurants with photos of dishes at the door near Piazza del Duomo; walk just 10 minutes to find places where the Milanese actually have lunch.

For the perfect photo of the Duomo without crowds, arrive at sunrise. The light reflected on the white marble is unique. Another incredible spot is the terrace of the La Rinascente department store, which offers a side view of the cathedral while you have a coffee. For a modern look, go to Piazza Gae Aulenti at dusk, where the mirrored skyscrapers and the 'Bosco Verticale' create a futuristic contrast with historic Milan. Secure your memories with the best angle of the fashion capital!
