Connectivity Tips for Milan
Milan is a working city as much as a tourist destination. The fashion district around Via Monte Napoleone and Via della Spiga has strong 4G, useful for checking store hours and price comparisons.
The Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II are busy during peak season and network congestion can briefly slow speeds. Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie requires advance booking and your eSIM makes it easy to check availability and book tickets.
The Navigli canal district in the evening has strong outdoor 4G across its bar-lined streets. The San Siro stadium has 4G coverage but gets extremely congested on football and concert nights. Download your ticket QR codes before leaving home on match days.
Best Time to Visit Milan
Milan is a fashion and design capital with two major event windows. Milan Fashion Week happens twice a year: February or March (Autumn/Winter collections) and September or October (Spring/Summer collections). The Salone del Mobile design fair in April attracts over 300,000 design professionals and enthusiasts to the Fiera Milano convention center and showrooms across the city. These event weeks fill every hotel room in Milan and prices triple. Book months ahead if attending these events. April and October have pleasant weather (14C to 20C) for visiting the Duomo, Brera district, and the Navigli canal area. May and June are warm and vibrant, 20C to 26C, with long outdoor evenings. July and August are very hot (32C to 36C), and many Milanese leave the city for the lakes and mountains. The Lago di Como and Lago Maggiore are an hour from Milan and far more pleasant in summer heat. December has the Fabbrica del Vapore and city Christmas markets.
Airport and Transit Connectivity
Milan has two main airports. Linate Airport (LIN), the city airport, is 8 kilometers from the center 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.

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.
