Best time to visit Milan from Australia
April to June and September to October are the best times to visit Milan. Spring temperatures sit at 15 to 24 degrees with comfortable city walking conditions. The famous Milan fashion weeks take place in February and September, making these months exciting but expensive. April and May are excellent with warm temperatures and the iconic Salone del Mobile furniture fair in April drawing large numbers of design visitors. July and August are hot at 28 to 35 degrees and many Milanese leave the city for the coast. The winter from November to March is cold at 0 to 8 degrees but the Christmas markets and La Scala opera season make December a popular time to visit.
Airport and Transit Connectivity
Milan has two main airports. Linate Airport (LIN), the city airport, is 8 kilometers from the centre and connects via the M4 metro line directly to Piazza San Babila and San Cristoforo in about 20 minutes with 4G throughout.
Malpensa Airport (MXP), the larger international airport, is 50 kilometers northwest and connects via the Malpensa Express train to Milano Centrale in about 50 minutes. Both airports have 4G and 5G throughout their terminals. The ATM metro system covers all main tourist areas.
Trenitalia and Italo high-speed trains connect Milano Centrale to Rome, Florence, Venice, and Turin. Uber and Free Now both operate in Milan. Aussie travellers should have their HelloRoam eSIM activated before landing so they can use maps straight away.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
