^{when you think about milan, there is one thing that you don't have to forget, milan is not only the capital of fashion and buisness, but it is also the city in which nightlife means much more than a simple drawn out dinner. milan offers lively bars, restaurants and nightclubs. some of them include live music, especially jazz music and some local bands. the clubbing starts at about eleven in the evening and goes strong until around four in the morning. several clubs offer you dinner too, before the nightlife starts. and of course, be sure to keep your style in mind, because the most important point of going out in milan is to look your best - we're not the fashion capital for nothing.}
