What should I pack for a holiday in Milan in April?
I'd recommend taking a light jacket, t-shirts and a couple of light sweaters for layering. We mostly wore chino trousers. Pack an umbrella just in case but it's unlikely you will need it. For footwear pack smart trainers or comfortable shoes as you do a lot of exploring and walking around. Of course Italians always wear a crossbody bag and take their sunglasses everywhere!

What's great about Milan in April?
April is a great month to visit because the weather is warm but not overpowering. This is a shoulder season so it's not busy with crowds. You can easily get tickets to the Last Supper for example and won't be stood in queues all the time. Employees at restaurants and other venues are much more welcoming as there is a more manageable number of visitors.

The temperature reaches around 19℃ during the daytime in April, falling away to 10℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.
