Rocket Italian Community

I will be going to Milan and Cologne for business in July. I have 3 days for myself. Any suggestions on places to stay and /or see.

Hi there. Welcome to the Rocket Italian Forum!

with 3 days in Milan you can definitely see a lot of things . You can't miss :
Il duomo (the cathedral), Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, La Scala opera house, "The last supper" paint from Leonardo Da Vinci in Santa Maria delle Grazie church, Castello Sforzesco (The Sforza castle)... these are definitely the highlights of the city.
You can do some shopping in via Monte Napolenone,if you are looking for the latest fashion from the most famous Italian designers. But if you are looking for something cheaper I recommend Corso Buenos Aires's shops.
For a good traditional Italian meal, I'd go to the Navigli district where you can have a resonable price dinner and then eventually enjoy the trendy nightclubs of the area, if you are interested.
For which it concerns hotels, well there are a lot of opportunities depending on the budget you have planned for your trip.
Hope to have been helpful.
