If the heat gets too much take a break in one of the many cafes and restaurants and have a refreshingly sharp lemonade or as an aperitif an Aperol Spritz. Answered by The Diary of a Jewellery Lover

What's great about Milan in August?

The locals take their holidays around this time and many people from Europe stay away from a city break and instead prefer a beach holiday. This means it can be less crowded if you can cope with the heat. Answered by The Diary of a Jewellery Lover
