Transportation:
Getting around Milan is easy with its efficient public transport (Metro, Bus, Tram) managed by ATM, which is great for covering distances, while walking is perfect for the central areas; avoid renting a car due to traffic, expensive parking, and Area C restrictions, using instead taxis/Uber for convenience or scooter/bike-sharing for short hops.
