In addition to having a culinary tour through the main typical dishes, another option just as good is to get to know Milanese food through its most famous and oldest places for eating, drinking, and gathering. The city is crowded with these fascinating remainders of old times, which are always worth a visit for their artistic, architectural and cultural value as if they were “living monuments”.
A city with an active and committed political and cultural life as the one Milan always had, in fact, could not do without some selected hangouts where politicians, artists, musicians, poets, writers, heroes of Italian Republic used to meet each other for drinks and talks. Many of these places are still up and running just as they were in the 19th century, and are impossible to skip if you want to immerse in Milanese lifestyle completely.
