Ariston Hotel

I stayed in the Ariston Hotel in Milan during my visit to the fashion capital of the world. The hotel was very nice, with sizeable rooms, internet access and a decent breakfast selection.

However, when you visit Milan, the last thing on your mind should be the state of the hotel.

It's a beautiful city with plenty to see. The San Siro stadium is a mecca for football fans throughout the world and I would urge you take a tour of the ground and if you're in town on the right day, to watch a match.

The Ariston hotel itself is located near another tourist must - the Duomo and roof - make sure you head over to check out this architectual heaven. You must head up onto the roof as you get unrivalled of the city a well as a picturesque vision of the Alps!

Women are also urged to do some shopping at the Quadrilatero - although make sure they're not taking your credit card!

Milan is a super city for a short break and as well as the aforementioned attractions there are loads of bars, restaurants and boutiques to check out.
