Just like Rome, New York or London, Milan is a big and beautiful city, which can also mean big price tags for accommodations. In Milan, this is especially true during big events like Fashion Week (February and September) or annual trade shows.
Plus, with all that Milan has to offer for visitors, it is a popular destination all year long, so it’s hard to find a bargain no matter what time of year you come. There are plenty of charming, budget hotels in Milan to be found, though, thanks to an abundance of family-run pensions and small, local hotels.
We’ve picked a handful of our favorites in Milan, so you can easily book your next vacation.
