Advantages: Clean, Loads of restaurants, comfy seats Disadvantages: No where to smoke
...on full pelt, welcome to Milan Malpensa.
The Airport that doesn\'t accommodate the needs of the smoker, (And the staff almost start laughing when you ask where the smoking area is!) brings to you the largest Duty free shop Ive ever seen in the EU, quite a few restaurants and cafe\'s and several bathrooms (Where the occasional smoker hangs out waiting to be handcuffed and pinned to the floor by the Italian Police)
The airport is connected to Milan ... ...a scheduled bus service. The Milan airport system has a third international airport, Orio al Serio Airport, which serves low-cost and charter traffic.
Malpensa handled over 21.7 million passengers in 2006 (over 31 million with Linate, the second airport of Milan, closer to downtown and over 36 million with Orio al Serio Airport, Milan\'s low cost airport). Malpensa is the top Italian airport in terms of international traffic, while the second busiest ...
Bonola is the first shopping center ‘born’ in the town of Milan, while the other previous shopping centers were all out of the borders of the town.
THE QUARTER
Bonola lies in a quarter of the outskirts of the town, at the north west of Milan, not far from the soccer stadium. You can easily find it, because Bonola is also a stop of the red line, the oldest line, of the underground. The center lies quite in the middle between two underground stops, ... ...main entrance of the center.
Bonola exists since 1988, and I saw its development from the beginning, because I live at approximately one hundred meters from it.
So, if you want, you should came with me to visit this shopping center: I’m sure it is something quite different from the shopping centers in your country.
THE SHOPPING CENTER
The shopping center is composed from a great number of shops and offices (200 or more), and an hypermarket called ...
I have lived in Milan for 3 months. I hated every minute of it. The city was the most brutal and nasty place I have been too. First -The people, a snooty toffee nosed people, with an intimidating and forbidding air to them. Not as wealthy as north Europeans, not as poor as southern Europeans, you can see where their allegiance lies. The pervasive racism of the place is brutal and wears you down, daily. Italy is NOT a diverse country, nor with am ... ...in the country, from every corner of the world. But all you see them doing, is either cleaning this or that. They are brutally stigmatised and unfairly taken advantage of. Listen, Italy, you're not making any more babies, and before you disappear altogether, give a thought to those, who will ensure you're well fed and taken of in the future. What I liked-the shopping, though it is very concentrated in a small zone in the centre of town. Though you ...
Advantages: Art can only have advantages Disadvantages: Don't see any
...only 50 x 70 cm., Il Cenacolo is quite big and this is one of the reasons why I felt so astonished when I walked into the small refectory room.
I was about 18 when I first saw it and I really didn’t expect it like that. I had always seen it on magazines and books. Believe me, it’s not the same. Maybe because it’s something made in the 15th century, maybe because it’s situated just where Leonardo painted it, but I can assure you that once inside ... ...floor, I was there.
Il Cenacolo represents the last supper, the famous scene in the Bible with Christ that sits at the table in the center and his disciples sit around him. This painting is probably the most important one among all works of art representing Christian subjects. It has always been in our imagination. Maybe some of you will remember for instance the film Jesus Christ Superstar. The Last Supper scene was taken from Il Cenacolo. All ...
Advantages: Beautiful architecture in heart of Milan Disadvantages: None
Viewed from the outside, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele invitingly gives the impression you should explore within.
We saw it from the Duomo (Cathedral) Square and after the `oohs and aahs' took the inevitable photos before we even looked at the guide book to see what it was. It is that type of building.
Go in we did! What magnificent architecture! As you walk along you step into the old world of stylish Milan. The little boutique shops are a delight ... ...Milan, pop in to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, it adds to your visit to the Duomo and all there is to see around about.
Take the well planned and operated underground to Duomo station and then it is only a few steps to the gallery.
Watch out for the pigeon-feeding, camera-toting sharks who want to relieve you of your well-earned Euros. ...
