Best time of year to visit Milan
The best time to rent a camper van in Milan depends on your interests. For those wanting to do outdoor activities, April to July and September to October have pleasant weather. If you’re a fashion lover then the fashion weeks in February and September are the ideal time to go, although the city does get quite crowded. The winter is the best time to escape the crowds at museums and historical sites, and the Christmas markets are magical. We suggest avoiding August, as many locals go on vacation during this time, and many local businesses and attractions are closed.
