What to pack for Milan in October

October in Milan: typical highs around 18°C, lows around 10°C and about 8 rainy days.

Milan has a proper continental climate: humid fog in winter, hot and sticky in July and August. Rain is spread across the year, and the elegant centro storico rewards layers you can adjust between trams, museums and aperitivo terraces.

The list below assumes a 7-day trip, flying in and sleeping in a hotel.
