About Italian aperitivo culture
Meet like-minded people in Milan
On your own in Milan? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Milan is Italy's fashion and design capital, with the Duomo, Leonardo's Last Supper and a stylish aperitivo culture. Solo travellers love the city's energy, shopping and easy day trips to Lake Como. Travellers gather in the Navigli canal district, Brera and around the Duomo.
Meeting people in Milan: what works
- Stay near Navigli, Porta Venezia or Centrale for hostels and easy transport links.
- Join aperitivo along the Navigli canals, where a drink often comes with snacks.
- Book tickets for the Last Supper well in advance, as slots sell out quickly.
- Take a day trip to Lake Como by train, which is easy and popular with solo travellers.
Stay safe
Avoid the 'friendship bracelet' and pigeon-feed sellers around the Duomo, and watch your belongings on crowded metro trains.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
