If it's night-life you love, the Porta Ticinese area is the place for you to stay. The Ticinese district connects the Colonne di San Lorenzo to the Navigli (another must-see of Milanese night-life) or offers the chance to shop, find a good and variegated meal option, or reserve a bed and breakfast at convenient prices. If you want to combine entertainment with art, we recommend the Museo Diocesano and the Basilica di Sant'Eustorgio with the Parco delle Basiliche as well as the Colonne di San Lorenzo. Traffic is almost completely limited in the Porta Ticinese area, but it is well-served by public transportation.
