Whether it’s the fashion, architecture, design, or risotto that draws you to Milan, chances are it will captivate you long enough to start planning your next visit before you even leave. More modern than Rome and faster-paced than Florence, this industrial hub is home to Italy’s fashion and financial elite. With the Winter 2026 Olympics just around the corner (February 6–22, to be exact), there’s even more reason to visit. And while you could always book a sleek hotel, a Milanese Airbnb offers the chance to slow down, settle in, and experience local life.
