Summary: Note of appreciation from a Milanese
Comment: I usually buy these guides when I travel for my pleasure, so it seemeda good idea to buy this one when I had American friends visiting , and I wantedto introduce them my city in a thorough, well-informed way. And it was a really good idea indeed! This volume is consistent with the other ones in the series: the Eyewitness may not be as updated or insightful as the Frommer about hotels or restaurants (though I found the Milan listings generally good), but it's virtually unbeatable when it comes to find your way around a city. The many maps and, above all, the amazingly detailed 3-D drawings with the itineraries are entertaining and real time-savers: thanks to the visual approach you don't waste a lot of time trying to understand if the old building you're looking at is actually the one you were looking for! As a native , I found the big "X-rays" pictures of the "big attractions" ( the Galleria, the La Scala Opera, the Castle, the Duomo Cathedral) especially well done, but I also could find at least a couple of off-the-beaten-path attractions I didn' t know ! As ever, the guide also provides an informative presentation of the social and historical background of the city. Finally the "practical life" section (money , transportation, aiports) is extremely well done and clear. We also used the guide for a trip to Lake Como and Bellagio (astonishingly, I had never been there before!) and the whole thing was smooth and exhaustive. The texts are, as ever, somewhat succint but not too simplistic : they tell you more or less what you need to know, and the (unavoidable) inaccuracies are few. The guide is also satisfactorily updated, even if it misses some of the latest renovations, like the new huge Deco-ish fountain of the Castle and the new La Scala Square, now beautifully restored to its turn-of the century appearance, but these guides are regularly updated, and the next edition will surely have them. Finally , my friends' visit was a success, and I know much more about my city, too. Also used (and recommended) : Rome, London, Berlin, Barcelona NYC, San Francisco, Florida.

Summary: great book
Comment: This book is great. It divided milan into smaller sections so it's easy to figure out where everything is located. It's rare to find so many pictures that are as big and clear as they are in this book. There's also a street finder map in the back, which is very helpful. It really helped me prepare for my upcoming study abroad trip to milan.

Summary: Excellent as always
Comment: This is the state-of-the-art tourism book. After dozens of titles edited during the last years, Eyewitness really did it! I used to live in Milan and it's a great place to spend some days, along with the lakes. The coverage of the main lakes (Como, Lugano, Garda) is amazing!
The main attractions in Milan are also covered (the Duomo, the Scala, Il Quadrilatero etc).
Excellent!
