Milan is not just famous for its monuments and its thousand-year-old history, but also for its dynamism and its countless chances to enjoy the typical movida. Many are the possibilities for leisure, that range from bars where you can taste the famous ‘aperitivo milanese’, to clubs where people can dance to the crack of dawn.
