This really works in the arena's favour though, for both basketball and concerts! When you are at a concert, it really feels like the connection is real with the band/artist, and you are not just another face in the crowd. There is just as good an atmosphere for basketball games as well, everyone there is a proper fan and has all the passion and enthusiasm that you need for a cracking atmosphere.
Safety at Mediolanum Forum?
Tickets are notoriously difficult to get and you only get a small amount of time actually viewing the piece – but while in Milan you should make an effort to see Da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'. Just as impressive is the Milanese Cathedral – be sure to climb to the roof and take in the view of the city. If you are into shopping, you are in luck! Milan is one of the chicest places on Earth – so window shop or spend money to your hearts content.
Best Bars near Mediolanum Forum?
Milan's bar scene is among the best in Italy and there are places to drink here that will suit each and every one of your cravings. Make sure you head to Bar Basso – a place that has been mixing drinks since 1947 – do yourself a favour and order one of their signature Negroni Sbagliato's! Keeping on the cocktail theme – Nottingham Forest (no, it's not a typo) is a strange bar with a whole load of themes going on inside it. This playfulness extends to their drinks and many of them look like science experiments! For a more traditional beer swilling type place – 'Friends' has been welcoming football fans for years and with its huge variety of beers, its easy to see why.
