Why Milan HATE Tourists

[@edoardocorona]

As a person born and raised in Milan this video is so funny. Quite true overall, but I never thought I would hear a foreign talk about Imbruttiti e Giargiana

[@izzytoons]

Also, as a visitor, I don't think of it as industrial. I think of it as commerical. It's not factories. It's businesses. Right?

[@ItsGroundhogDay]

People going slow and being oblivious that maybe someone will want to get around them annoy me, too, in a generic suburb in the US. I just can't figure out when I go shopping or something how people can move that slowly.

[@no_soy_rubio]

I'm glad you mentioned the San Siro, I'd recommend anyone go there to watch a football match, even if you don't like football. It's one of the world iconic stadiums and it's being knocked down in a few years.

[@lestranged]

Escalator etiquette applies to EVERYwhere. Stand on the right, walk on the left, Even in UK where they drive on the other side of the road, they still stand on the right and walk on the left. Two people together: DO NOT stand side by side on an escalator. Also, Do not walk down narrow sidewalks side by side. Nobody can pass you or even go the other direction.

[@TheGibb0nz]

except for Australia, we stand on the left there

[@michaelkrupar9808]

This is good and in all honesty, it could apply to any major city that is also a touritst destination.

[@woltersworld]

Very true

[@jordanleitson458]

Ok, Milan has been nice. Maybe you visited the lesser known cultural landmarks. Like the Synagogues, which have been more than welcoming to visitors.

[@Fan652w]

At 3m 11s you showed one of the old trams, built circa 1930. It should be stressed that these vehicles are not museum pieces! Milan tramways use them 7-days-a week on their less busy routes!

[@danc1873]

And... you'll find the same here in Rome :D

[@christopherscholl9823]

I found the people of Milan so friendly to tourists. Use your common sense, and be polite. We ate at so many hole in the wall places, and I can only say a handful of words in Italian, they would switch to English and it wasn't a bother.

[@mimmiblu6138]

Yes, we tend to speak English, after tourists make the effort to ask if we can switch to it. This is Italy... after all and we're quite proud of our culture, which is made up of many different regional identities, including the industrial one from Milan. I am so glad you've experienced the cheerful side of the Milanese! (I have to laugh every time foreigners ask me if I'm Italian because they expect all of us to have a SuperMario accent😉)

[@Vinceventuring]

A little courtesy goes a long way on holiday ❤️

[@b.w.9244]

And that goes both ways!

[@Paul_C]

Not for Americans.

[@benjaminespunkt9433]

Cool City! Even many Tourists might be disappointed not seeing enough "old stones", I think this is one of the biggest strenghs of Milan! So much more then old stones and grappy Souvenir stores! Nice sights, mixed with the Flair of a cultural, fashion and Shopping capital! One additional point - if you are lucky and can get Tickets for scala (absolut recommendable by the way!!!), please watch out to wear a nice dress (e.g. suit & tie)! Going into one of the most iconic openhouses in the World in Jeans can be considered as disrespectful

[@notimportant73]

Great video but it must be said that Milanesi more often are quite rude especially when they drive and it’s a very non pedestrian friendly/cyclist city

[@kueller917]

Going to Milan just for a couple days later this year because I got tickets to a show there. It's actually nice to hear it's not just a series of tourist places cause since I'm not doing a proper stay I plan to just hang out with the extra time.

[@CzechAvailabilitie]

As an Icelander I found Milano absurdly cheap. It was slightly more expensive compared to Reggio Emilia where I stayed before but in both cities everything was basically free compared to Iceland (probably because Iceland is stupidly expensive). Not only was the basic price of everything low but also the portions were insanely generous compared to Iceland. A double drink in Iceland has the same amount of booze as a single in Italy etc. etc. However the highlight of the city is obviously Bloodbuster Video, a store that specialises in genre film videos, merch, and books.

[@D_Marrenalv]

I agree with Mark, Milan is beautiful in its own right.

[@Pascua_bunch]

I went to Europe recently this year and I noticed people walk really fast in general. Felt like everyone was speed walking xD

[@cynthiahaller8579]

I’m American and people walk so slow here. When I went to Germany I finally fit in with my speed of walking😂

[@nevecenere]

Wow you know a lot from Milano! But I'm pretty sure you still dont know about this project under construction in milanmo. It's called PAN, Parco Amphitheatrum Naturae. check how cool it is

[@travelport7868]

A big one for locals (really in any old European cities) - don’t roll your rollie suitcase along the cobblestone streets. It’s disrespectful and noisy for residents and diners in cafes who can hear you coming a minute away and a minute afterwards. If you hit cobblestones, pick it up and carry it.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

Good point!

[@jessicaely2521]

This isn't always possible. My mother in law travels often (she's Swiss) to see her grandkids in Milan. She has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands (they are deformed from arthritis basically). Carrying a 3kg isn't possible for her. My mom still travels all over Italy from Florida. She has regular arthritis in her hands. If you're young yeah sure, but if your old absolutely not.

[@grufscruf]

Its got wheels for a reason.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

@@jessicaely2521 thats fair, if one has the capability to lift then do it, but if not that its totally reasonable to use the streets for what it is there for in the first place

[@한여름-b1l]

That's too much. It's amazing how Italian likes visitors to spend money at their shop and restaurants , and they hate visitors even though many visitors spend tons of money which serves as a big support of Italian economy. You make sure do Carry your rollie suitcase when you visit other countries. OK??

[@beastboss90]

Man the moment you mention the imbruttito you won 3000 points. ;)))

[@peoniesandpetunias61]

Thank you for this! Great information and great tips. :)

[@soniasonia7138]

So perfect my dear. You got it. 😁. Love, from Milan

[@yaowsers77]

I totally need to go back. From your video, I missed a lot!

[@smallfaucet]

My wife was just there and said there was trash everywhere and everybody was smoking.

[@juliewillard1367]

I just got back from Milan. I have been lots of places in Italy and love it but Milan is bottom of my list. Good points great transport system, great museums, ice creams (not many gelatos) great bars and restaurants. Bad points , too much graffiti (I just don’t get it) can feel unsafe around the main train station, lots of scammers, lack of public toilets ( nuisance keep having to buy something at busy cafes to use the facilities) Some places we felt unwelcome as tourists and others we felt in welcomed. I love Rome and Florence much better.

[@tobiojo6469]

Awesome video

[@woltersworld]

Thanks Tobi

[@chapswick]

You got everything absolutely right, Mark! :) Sincerely, a Milanese Imbruttito.

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

I love the nearly 100 years old trams!

[@serbaresep]

Luar biasa semoga sukses selalu untuk anda

[@callumkent7155]

Hi wolter do you any videos on Nuremberg. I can’t find any. I visited Bavaria last year. Went to bamberg. Munich and regensburg. I now want to try Nuremberg as I heard it’s good for WW2 stuff. Would you recommend it ? Also is Wurzburg worth going to ?

[@rotulecomefrisbee]

Go to Turin!

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

If any Milanese or Italian can answer this question: How much of the population of Milano is imbruttito and how many are a giargiana?

[@antonellamR2D2]

Hard to say, you become Imbruttito after one generation... I guess 1 in 4 is a giargiana like me

[@baconpancakes8899]

Waiting for the day you hit 1M subs! Btw do you ever plan to come over to Asia? Tokyo? Hong Kong? Seoul? Singapore? Kuala Lumpur?

[@paulkoza8652]

All of this is common sense, not just for Milan. It makes me wonder if the Milanese hate the electric scooters. BTW, the worst thing that happened to Italy is unification. Italians are very attached to their locale. Each region is different. I wish we could turn the clock back 150 years. I suspect that some Italians feel the same way.

[@johnnymartinjohansen]

I don't think Milan is that expensive. Sure, if you insist on only going to the fashion shops or only eating near the Duomo, it is. But there are tons of budget options all around the city. And the first on your list? 99.99% of tourists (at least foreigners) have never heard those terms. Ever. And therefore will never talk about it. Btw, Milan isn't really an industrial city, it's more a finance/tech city.

[@andrealoia5910]

Congrats for the video from a Milanese 😊

[@BigSmallTravel]

It is a great video. His videos are top notch. We did a more general Milan and Bergamo video as well. Check it out of you can as a local let us know what you think.

[@Tramptraveller]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@woltersworld]

Thanks for the ❤️

[@ordinaryextraordinarybrotha]

Yo Walter where is your Pittsburgh video if you didn't go to Pittsburgh and do a video about it yet you need to stop what you're doing and immediately fly to Pittsburgh and do a video you going to do one for Cleveland but not Pittsburgh we're better than Cleveland and we're definitely better than Philly

[@pamelabasilone5173]

Ask any Italian about Milan and the Milanese and see what they say! LOL, Especially in the south where they could not be any nicer and warmer to tourists.

[@supertrooper6879]

Si, noi milanesi siamo tutti dei mostri senza sentimenti. Contenta adesso?

[@pamelabasilone5173]

Hai appena dimostrato la mia tesi. Non ho detto che tutti i milanesi @@supertrooper6879

Forza milan

Maybe they'd be happier if no one came and spent their money in Milan.

I see.....So Milan hates Rome....any other places resent Rome too? How come this?

[@antonellamR2D2]

Everybody loves Rome, but people from Milan are bother by the constant comparison. Also, burocrats and politicians work in Rome, so a lot of corruption 😁 In Italy Every town hates on some other, this comes up to medieval times, when we were little States at perpetual war

[@Peter1Europe]

[@jennyhammond9261]

Can you just copy and paste the video and entitle it "What People Do to Upset Shoppers at the Grocery Store"? lol Just move, people!! lol

[@victormeidan1062]

Asa tourist, things you won't like about Italy: 1. It's a country without benches. There are no benches in the entire country. Even when you pay to enter a park, you will found no benches there. To sit down - either sit on some steps (eg as in Spanish Steps in Rome) or pay for a drink in a coffee shop. 2. Very few sidewalks or very narrow outside the main town centers. 3. Very few signs and directions anywhere. 4. Generally speaking, food is not so good.
