Renting at Milan Cassala - Assago

What to see and do southwest of Milan

Travelling to Milan can sometimes become a very expensive trip, not only because of the seductive allure of its many shops and boutiques, but also because of the prohibitive price of accommodation and food. If you cannot give up on opening your window every morning on the awe-inspiring view of Milan’s Gothic Dome or Sforza Castle, then you should expect such high expenses. But if, on the contrary, you feel like you would rather save on accommodation and assign more budget to exploring the city and its surroundings, while also enjoying Milan’s truly authentic spirit, then we suggest you taking into consideration the area that stretches from the south-west city gate of Milan (Porta Ticinese) to the borough of Assago. Rich in monuments, large green areas, tiny cute bars and fancy traditional restaurants, the southwest area of the city arises all around the Naviglio Grande, the most famous canal in Lombardy, culminating in the Porta Ticinese dock, known as Darsena among the locals, which is one of most lively areas in Milan as far as night life is concerned. From here, you can either choose to transfer to the city centre or to the external areas of Milan, Lombardy and the neighbouring region of Piedmont in a reasonable amount of time.

As you may already know from your previous travels here or from your online readings, getting around in Milan can be very tricky sometimes, especially if you are venturing past the gateways of Milan city centre, where you are sure to encounter solid traffic jams. Two restricted areas are now active in Milan: the narrower one (Area C), comprising the old town centre, can only be entered with a daily, weekly or monthly pass; the larger one (Area B), delimited by the city’s great ring road, can be freely accessed by all environmental-compliant cars, which all vehicles in Locauto fleet are. If you are travelling outside Milan using motorways, you can pay tolls using a European electronic toll collection device, cash or credit cards.
