Frequently Asked Questions
Milan is served by two main airports — Malpensa (MXP) and Linate (LIN) — with flights available from a wide range of UK departure points including London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Birmingham.

Milan's top attractions include the iconic Duomo di Milano and its accessible rooftop terraces, Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade, the historic La Scala opera house, and the Pinacoteca di Brera art gallery. The Navigli district is perfect for an evening of aperitivo and atmosphere, while Sforza Castle offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's medieval past.
Milan has a reputation for luxury, but it is entirely possible to enjoy the city on a range of budgets. High-end dining and designer shopping sit alongside excellent neighbourhood trattorias and affordable local markets. Many of the city's most rewarding experiences — wandering the Navigli canals, exploring the Brera district, or admiring the Duomo facade — cost nothing at all. Johnson Holidays offers Milan packages across a range of price points to suit different budgets.
Spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) offer the most pleasant conditions, with warm temperatures, lower humidity than midsummer, and a lively city atmosphere. July and August can be very hot and humid, and many locals leave the city during this period, meaning some restaurants and smaller shops may be closed. Winter in Milan is cool and occasionally foggy but brings its own charm, particularly around the Christmas period.
