Milan ratings & reviews
What our students said about Milan
It is recommended for sightseeing, but there are many problems when it comes to living in the city. The post office and other offices involved in the application for a residence permit were quite difficult to deal with.
Especially outside of the center, pleasantly peaceful and "untouristic" (at least at the end of July 2021), relaxed atmosphere, but also the possibility of celebrating an aperitivo, etc.
Anyone looking for a vibrant big city is in good hands here, beyond all the clichés about Italy. Great museums, very international, very beautiful surroundings with numerous lakes.
Certainly worth seeing, a mixture of the new and the ancient. Icecream shops too tempting though! Great for shopping if that's what one likes.
A wonderful city with outstanding sights (e.g. cathedral, galleries, Sforzesco Castle, etc.) and a great atmosphere
Milan is a beautiful city with many activities to do, but the different neighborhoods are also fun to experience.
I liked the city very much. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to visit the surrounding area.
Milan is a great city and well worth seeing. I really enjoyed the evening "aperitivo".
Stylish but not overpriced city with good activity choices to organise on your own.
Was there for two weeks and never ran out of places to visit and things to see.
What language school directors said about Milan
Milan is the place to be in Italy at the moment: the most active city, the most funny, the most open to different cultures. Milan is very well connected with all the cities in Italy and Europe. A very good place to be based.
