NIGHTLIFE in Milan
When you think about Milan there is one thing that you don't have to
forget: Milan is not only the capital of fashion, business, but it is
also the city in which nightlife means much more than a simple drawn-out
dinner.

The main two areas to go out in Milan, are: around the Brera
gallery and the Navigli area. Milan offers lively bars, restaurants
and nightclubs, moreover some of them include live music, especially
jazz music and some local bands. Clubbing starts at about 11.00 pm running
to about 4 am, but if you want to be ready, start your nightlife with
with the happy hour aperitifs,
from about 18.00 on in one of the most famous bars and cafés. In milanese clubs the cost of a drink is about
7euro and several clubs have introduce a pay-as-you-leave-system. That
is why you receive a ticket at the door that you can use for the cloakroom
and it permits you to buy drinks and food. Do not loose this ticket
because the fine is very high. Several clubs offer you dinner too, before
the nightlife starts. This is an oppurtunity to join together food and
live jazz music which is often played during dinner. At least but not
the last think about your style because the most important point of
going out in milan is to look your best! However if you want to have
an alternative scene and less expensive, you should try the Centri Sociali
with cheap or sometimes free entertainment as concerts and film showings.
They also contain bars and vegetarian restaurants.
