The industrial capital of Italy and one of the world's fashion and business centers, today's Milan is teeming with chaotic urban rush on a daily basis.

Here are the top dozen of them!

Ostello Bello is adored by the young crowd of Milan. It is, in fact, a hostel in the center of the city, but is frequented by the locals for its cafe/bar lounge area.
