The best coffee in Milan: our 5 favorite coffee spots you should not miss!
Italy is not only a country that offers history and culture but is also rich in traditions. One of the most famous daily rituals of Italians is to drink espresso or cappuccino at the bar to start a day in the best possible way. Over the time this tradition has evolved. Before all Italians would drink their coffee in a hurry and at the bar counter, before going to work. Today it has also become a moment of relaxing, disconnecting from the busy day or just catching up with a friend.
