What free activities should we do in Milan?
Milan offers a surprising array of free activities, great for budget-conscious solo travellers looking to soak up the city's culture without breaking the bank.

Start your exploration by simply wandering through the historic centre. The magnificent Duomo di Milano, while costing to enter, is a breathtaking sight from the outside and a fantastic backdrop for photos. Nearby, you can stroll through the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an architectural marvel in itself, even if you're just window shopping.

For a dose of art and culture, many of Milan's churches are free to enter. Don't miss the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where you can admire the exterior of the building that houses Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" (booking far in advance and paying a fee is required to see the fresco). The serene courtyards of the Brera district offer a lovely atmosphere for a leisurely walk, and you might even catch street performers or open-air art displays.

Solo travellers can also enjoy Milan's green spaces. Parco Sempione, located behind the Sforza Castle (another impressive structure to admire from the outside for free), is a vast park ideal for a picnic, people-watching, or a peaceful stroll. It also offers views of the Arco della Pace. For a different vibe, explore the Navigli district, particularly in the late afternoon.

Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Milan for you.
