I am given an opportunity to go to Milan for a few days the beginning of next Feb, perhaps then go to London for a fews days afterwards. How is Milan in Feb? I understand that it would be cold or even wet, but would it be the point to be unpleasant? Like would I be able to do much? Some people say some tourist places are closed or have very short hours in winter in Italy. Any comments would be appreciated!

It is very cold and gray in Feb. I wouldn't personally go out of my way to go there at that time (speaking from experience).

Ditto. If you go, spend your time visiting the museums.

It's awful, gray, rainy, cold and if you want to miss the sales go then. If not, go in windy, cold, rainy gray January but don't miss the sale and get all the fashion stuff for half the price and get horny and maybe gay with all your stuff you bought.<BR><BR>Papa al Pomodoro

When I was there in February it was cold and overcast; however, with so much to do we just put on our sweaters and did the indoor things. If you have the opportunity don't miss it. Marilyn
