Car trip from Alba to Milan
Though the car trip from Alba to Milan is just 95 miles, it passes by everything you could hope to experience on your Italian escape. Alba's colorful piazzas are just a push of the pedal from lush vineyards harvesting grapes for the local specialty, wine. Piedmont's mountainous terrain slowly falls into Lombardy's flat plains but constantly remains in the background of medieval castles perched upon hilltops.
About Milan
After a thrilling drive from Alba to Milan, you'll arrive in Italy's second-largest city. Located in Lombardy, Milan is the region's capital and most populated city, with 3.1 million residents, of which 220,000 are students. Its location is just 31 miles south of the Swiss frontier, and the surrounding Alps have been pivotal to the city's rich past and present.
Today, Milan is in a modern golden age rivaling its medieval period. Sophisticated architecture litters the streets, and chic walkways lined with designer brands attract tourists from all four corners of the globe. The annual Milan Fashion Week sums up the modern city when celebrities come to see the latest trends in lavish labels before unwinding in one of the numerous cocktail bars in town.

From Alba to Milan: travel tips
If you're not prepared, the short and sweet trip from Alba to Milan can turn into a long and bitter experience. So, follow our insider travel tips before to ensure a perfect voyage!
Countless world-class attractions dot northern Italy. But tourist hotspots overshadow these worthwhile experiences.
You'll create a unique Italian adventure and help support smaller museums and businesses by visiting lesser-known sights. The historical Cittadella of Alessandria and the breathtaking Renaissance architecture of Pavia Monastery are probably landmarks you have never heard of, and they're easy to visit when you ride with Daytrip!
Avoid rush hour
Milan is a bustling city that often sees gridlock. If you travel within rush hour traffic from 8 to 10 AM and 5 to 8 PM, you'll waste time sitting in a vehicle when it could be better spent sipping on a Spritz!
The cities between Alba and Milan are commuter towns. Many people travel here for work, making public transportation crowded during peak hours.
Do your homework
Milan is a unique city, unlike anywhere else in Italy. As a result, you may be surprised to find such a contrast to Alba.
Most notably, Milan has a vibrant nightlife, and the party atmosphere begins early in the day. Aperitivo is like a religion in the town, so you'll need to understand its rules before you arrive and its tipping cultures.
Although Milan has the highest English-speaking population nationwide, locals appreciate using basic phrases such as buongiorno (good morning) and grazie (thank you).

Things to do when you get to Milan

Housed in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, this renowned fresco painting is one of the most famous works of art worldwide. Leonardo da Vinci painted this masterpiece in the late 15th century, showing the moment Jesus revealed that one of his disciples would betray him.
But don't forget to admire the other works here. You can find other stunning Renaissance art and architecture and take a moment to appreciate the postcard-perfect courtyard.
Wander Duomo Square
Milan's nightlife stems from Duomo Square. It's a giant melting pot of noise and energy, showcasing that it is the city's beating heart.
However, its visuals are just as attractive as its lively personality. In one turn of the neck, you can see the Royal Palace of Milan, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping center, and the iconic Duomo Cathedral.
You could spend hours admiring each landmark. Luckily, you can do so with a drink in one hand and a camera in the other at Terrazza Aperol!
Visit Sforzesco Castle
They say that the best things in life are free, and that seems to be the case, as you can visit the stunning Sforzesco Castle without spending a penny!
A carnival atmosphere erupts in the grand courtyard on a summer day. Locals and tourists gather to admire the setting before venturing through its historical paths to another free attraction, Parco Sempione.
As you pass through its gates, a world of natural beauty filled with leafy walkways and glimmering bodies of water unfolds before you. Don't forget to bring some products from a local market and enjoy a picnic under the sunset.
When is the best time to visit Milan?
You should never miss an opportunity to travel from Alba to Milan. However, if you're fortunate enough to have the flexibility to choose, consider embarking on this thrilling journey during the spring or fall "shoulder months".
Like most of Italy, spring is generally the best time to visit Milan. The average daily high temperature of 77_°_ Fahrenheit is ideal for walking tours or soaking up the sun's rays on a stylish terrace.
This season also receives significantly fewer visitors than the summer. So you can enjoy leisurely activities and various cultural events without getting lost in the crowds.
Milan in the fall
The fall months of September, October, and November are the second shoulder season of the year. The vast tourist groups sitting on the sidewalks make way for brown and red leaves. As a result, it's the most beautiful time to see Milan.
But it also has another unique factor. Traveling in the fall will get you the best hotel and tour deals. Establishments offer compelling discounts to fill up spaces before winding down for the low winter period. And you can put this saved cash toward the restaurants, as this is the harvesting season for fresh local ingredients!
