Cycling In Milan - How to Rent a Bike @BikeMi

Was visiting Milan and a rented a ‘BikeMi’ which is the equivalent of any city rental bikes system. I cycled around the city and here's a quick video showing how to rent a bike and my take on some of the infrastructure. The purpose of the video is to help and encourage anyone travelling there to cycle around the city.
You will need some encouragement if like me you get ‘some’ local people discouraging you from cycling because like in many other cities in the world is regarded as ‘too dangerous’.

Travel Milan: Bicycles

Sonia Gil takes us on a survey of bicycles in Milan. As there are few things more Italian than a bicycle, and as there are few things more 'milanese' than properly riding one through the city's streets, Sonia goes to the heart of one of Italy's most glamorous cities.

WOW! How brave of me to enter into a famous Milano shopping mall Galleria Vittorio Emanuele with a bicycle, then into Piazza del Duomo square.

Early in the evening hours, cycling the city of Milano and filming it from my headcam. Most people were on the way to their home for the evening or dinner. This was during my bicycling tour of Europe. I love Milano! It has so much energy and character.

We had 3 days in Milan so we hit the ground running and tried to see and do as much as possible. We made time for major attractions like Il Duomo, Sforza Castle, and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, but we also veered away from the crowds in search of street art and interesting neighborhoods. This being Italy, we also tried to prioritize meals, sampling everything from pizza to risotto, and cappuccinos to aperitivos. The following travel guide will highlight 20 things to do when you visit Milan, Italy

1) Milan Catherdral (Il Duomo - Duomo di Milano - Domm de Milan)

Our trip to Milan, Lombardy was part of the Blogville project where we stayed in a local apartment and experienced all of the best cultural activities, museums, restaurants, arts and entertainment the city has to offer. This city guide is our best attempt to create a mix of best attractions and off-the-beaten-path activities that you won't necessarily find in a typical Milan tourism brochure.

20 Things to do in Milan Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:

Our first stop was Il Duomo, which is the most recognized attraction in the city. The cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete.

So we've sat down at a little cafe and we're going to have our first Italian breakfast with cappuccino and sweet pastries.

Something that surprised us about Milan is that there is a castle right in the middle of the city. Sforza Castle was built in the 15th century by the Duke of Milan, and it then underwent several restorations and expansions in the following centuries. Today it houses several of the city's most prized art possessions, including frescoes by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo's very last sculpture.

For some upscale designer shopping, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the place to be.

So we just found a local little restaurant and we're going to be trying a traditional dish that is very popular in this city and in the Lombardy region. We are going to have Risotto alla Milanese.

The Colonne di San Lorenzo are the remains of Roman ruins that date back to the 2nd century. They are believed to have been part of a bath house.

Another fun activity to try in Milan is a boat tour of the canals. The city's canals are attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci, who in 1482 was called over by the Duke of Milan to help renovate the city’s canal system.

Milan's Navigli District is one of the liveliest parts of town especially when the sun goes down for dining al fresco.

So we've gone out for our first Italian Aperitivo. Which is kind of like a pre-dinner drinking tradition. Basically, you get yourself a cocktail for about 10 Euros and that gives you access to this massive buffet.

And that's all for our visit to Milan. We hope this video will give you some cool ideas of sights and attractions to check out.

This is part of our Travel in Italy series showcasing Italian culture, Italian arts, Italian foods & Italian cuisine.

Racing through Milan with a Police Escort! | GUMBALL 3000

How better to end a long drive from Chantilly to Milan, with an arrival in the Italian city by a fast police motorcade convoy through the city streets! Having departed the French chateau in the morning, it's the long road towards Zurich, Switzerland for lunch before crossing the Alps to Milan to wrap up day 2 of the 2018 Gumball 3000 from London to Tokyo.

Day one had taken us across the start line in London and via the Eurotunnel to the Chateau de Chantilly outside of Paris. The second day would follow up being the longest of the European legs, over 900km to Milan in Italy. With the earlier part of the day running incredibly smoothly, the evening would bring things to life with the Milan police bikes bringing us briskly through the city to the closing grid!

Tomorrow we'll be continuing to Bologna for a visit to Pagani before heading to the airport for the participants and many of the cars to fly out to Osaka in Japan! The crazy adventure is only getting ever more crazy...

►More information:

1) Instead of paying the Cathedrals entrance and going up the many steps to the viewing spot, go to the Rinascente rooftop and buy yourself a glass of wine.
You'll first have to go through the Rinascente mall, pass the several shops and boutiques, go to the very last floor where you'll find a cafeteria. Opposite to it there is a terrace! You're welcome!
We paid 4.5 Euros for a cecchi red wine (which is my favorite wine by the way) and they brought us chips, olives, peanuts and mini sandwiches!

2) The Cathedral Duomo di Milano was originally created in the 14th century but took over 600 years to build. You can visit the rooftop of the Cathedral for 10 Euros and enjoy the spectacular views and architecture from above. It's the fourth largest church in the world.

3) The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele the second, is Italy's oldest active shopping mall and a major landmark of Milan. The Galleria is named after Vittorio Emanuele the second, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. Completed in 1867.

4) Trattoria S. Filippo Neri: With ONLY 40 Euros 3 people eat first and second course, a side dish, a desert and wine. That's 13 euros per person! That's a crazy price for Milan! You can join the folk outside playing cards! Super cool environment you can't get anywhere else!

5) La Scala is an opera house in Milan. Built in 1778 it's regarded as one of the leading opera and ballet theatres in the world.
Greatest artists and finest singers from around the world come here.

6) Public Transport: we recommend buying an option that nobody talks about and its called Settimanale 2x6:
it costs 10€ and it allows you to travel twice per day for a total lenght of 90 minutes each ride.

7) Rent a bike: All you do is register online, select the daily package (4.5 euros) or weekly package (9 euros) and after you've paid, you get a username, password and unlock your bike. DONE!

The Modern District of Milan《Porta Nuova》Italy

???????? New District Porta Nuova is an eco-sustainable complex with over twenty buildings including skyscrapers, offices, cultural centers and urban villas. The buildings are characterized by a considerable height and a strong architectural impact.

* The Unicredit Tower, highest skyscraper in Italy, with a height of 231 meters.
* The Torre Solaria, the highest residential skyscraper in the country; venue for conferences, congresses, concerts, exhibitions, performances and seminars.
* The Diamond Tower, is a structure with a faceted shape, similar to that of a diamond, with a total height of 140 meters. This figure qualifies him as the fourth tallest skyscraper in Milan and the tallest steel building in Italy.
The Diamond Tower is correlated by two low bodies called Diamantini that stand as an element of continuity of the skyscraper itself, forming the vast business district.

* The Vertical Forest, with its hanging gardens.
The Vertical Forest is a complex of two residential tower buildings with the presence of more than two thousand tree species, including shrubs and tall trees, distributed on the facades. It is an ambitious metropolitan reforestation project that through the vertical densification of the green is proposed to increase the plant and animal biodiversity of the Lombard capital, reducing its urban expansion and also contributing to the mitigation of the microclimate.
As a testament to its architectural recognition, Bosco Verticale was the winner of numerous competitions: in addition to the International Highrise Award, which was awarded in 2014, in 2015 Bosco Verticale was awarded the prize for «the most beautiful and innovative skyscraper of the world », according to a classification by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

These important architectures are accompanied by cycle paths, pedestrian walks and large paved public spaces, such as Piazza Gae Aulenti and Piazza Alvar Aalto.
The fulcrum of the existing neighborhoods is the Tree Library, a large public park covering about 90,000 m²
and are based on a network of inter-connected pedestrian paths, arranged so as to bring together different types of trees to create a botanical library. The value of an urban park as a tourist attraction is also guaranteed by music, cinema, games for adults and children, educational centers such as the Museum of flowers and insects.
The park is home to 90,000 plants and 450 trees, equipped sports areas, thematic circular forests, vegetable gardens, educational trails, bike trails and runners.

???????? Nuovo quartiere Porta Nuova è un complesso ecosostenibile oltre venti edifici tra grattacieli, uffici, centri culturali e ville urbane. Gli edifici si caratterizzano per una notevole altezza e un forte impatto architettonico.

*La Torre Unicredit, più alto grattacielo in Italia, con altezza di 231 metri.
*La Torre Solaria, più alto grattacielo residenziale del Paese; luogo per conferenze, congressi, concerti, esposizioni, performance e seminari.
*La Torre Diamante, è una struttura dalla forma sfaccettata, simile a quella di un diamante, dall'altezza complessiva di 140 metri. Tale dato lo qualifica come quarto grattacielo più alto di Milano e l'edificio in acciaio più alto d'Italia.
La Torre Diamante è correlata da due corpi bassi chiamati Diamantini che si pongono come elemento di continuità del grattacielo stesso, formando complessivamente il vasto business district.
*Il Bosco Verticale, con i suoi giardini pensili.
Il Bosco Verticale è un complesso di due palazzi residenziali a torre con la presenza di più di duemila essenze arboree, tra arbusti e alberi ad alto fusto, distribuite sui prospetti. Si tratta di un ambizioso progetto di riforestazione metropolitana che attraverso la densificazione verticale del verde si propone di incrementare la biodiversità vegetale e animale del capoluogo lombardo, riducendone l'espansione urbana e contribuendo anche alla mitigazione del microclima.
A testimonianza del suo riconoscimento architettonico, il Bosco Verticale è risultato vincitore di numerose competizioni: oltre all'International Highrise Award, di cui è stato insignito nel 2014, nel 2015 il Bosco Verticale si è aggiudicato il premio come «grattacielo più bello e innovativo del mondo», secondo una classificazione del Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

Si accompagnano a queste importanti architetture percorsi ciclabili, passeggiate pedonali e ampi spazi pubblici lastricati, come piazza Gae Aulenti e piazza Alvar Aalto.
Fulcro urbano tra i quartieri esistenti è la Biblioteca degli Alberi, grande parco pubblico esteso per circa 90 000 m²
e sono basati su un intreccio di percorsi pedonali collegati tra loro, disposti in modo da accostare diversi tipi di alberi per creare una biblioteca botanica.
Il parco ospita 90 mila piante e 450 alberi, aree attrezzate per lo sport, foreste circolari tematiche, orti, percorsi didattici, sentieri per bici e runner.
