Everything you need to know about Milan

Milan is Italy's capital of fashion, design and finance — a fast-moving northern city where the Gothic Duomo and Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper sit alongside glass towers, aperitivo bars and the shopping streets of the Quadrilatero della Moda. Compact and walkable at its core, with a slick metro, it's also the natural launchpad for Lake Como, Bergamo and Verona.

Essential info for Canadian travellers

  • Passport: A valid Canadian passport is required. It should be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area.

  • Visa & ETIAS: Canadians can visit visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The ETIAS travel authorisation is being introduced for Schengen — confirm whether it's required before you fly.

  • Travel insurance: Provincial health plans do not cover care in Italy. Comprehensive travel insurance with medical coverage is strongly recommended.

  • Power & plugs: Italy uses 230V/50Hz with Type F, L and C plugs. Bring a plug adapter and check that dual-voltage devices are supported.

  • Time zone: Milan runs on Central European Time (CET) — six hours ahead of Toronto, observing daylight saving in summer.

Milan travel FAQ

Everything Canadian travellers ask before booking

Do Canadians need a visa for Milan?

No. Canadians can visit Italy visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. You'll need a valid passport, and should check whether the new ETIAS travel authorisation is required before you fly.

How long is the flight from Canada to Milan?

Direct overnight flights from Toronto are about 8h 30m, with similar times from Montreal. Travellers from western Canada usually connect through a European or Canadian hub.

When is the best time to visit Milan?

April to June and September to October offer the most pleasant weather for sightseeing and day trips. July and August are hot and humid, and many businesses close in August.

How do I get around Milan?

The historic centre is very walkable, and Milan's metro, trams and buses are fast and inexpensive. Buy a travel pass or use contactless tap-and-go at the turnstiles.

What currency is used in Milan?

Italy uses the euro (EUR). Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere; carry a little cash for small cafés, markets and tips.

Is Milan safe for tourists?

Milan is a safe, cosmopolitan city. The main risk is pickpocketing around the Duomo, Centrale station and on busy trams, so keep valuables secure.

Do I need to book The Last Supper in advance?

Yes — tickets to see Leonardo's Last Supper are strictly limited and sell out weeks ahead, so reserve as early as you can or add a guided tour at checkout.

Can I book excursions through ShopTravel?

Yes. You can add day trips such as Lake Como & Bellagio or Bergamo Città Alta to your trip during checkout.
