My first take-off
I was nervous and excited because I had never flown before. By the end of the journey I knew I wanted many more trips like this.
We visited Piazza del Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, where we turned on the famous bull mosaic for luck.
Coffee as a spectacle
The Starbucks Reserve Roastery near Piazza Cordusio felt more like a museum than an ordinary café. We could see coffee sacks, machinery and the beans moving above us during processing.
As a barista, I loved seeing the work become part of the experience.
From the castle to the skyscrapers
We walked from Castello Sforzesco through Parco Sempione to Arco della Pace, then reached the modern Via de Castillia and Bosco Verticale area.
I love skyscrapers and height, so this became my favourite neighbourhood. Milan was easy by metro and cost about HUF 30–40,000 per person – a destination I would recommend for a first flight.
