Milan Travel Insurance

Anyone considering travelling to Milan should take out travel insurance with a policy that includes: theft, loss of baggage, accident and medical cover. This is not to say that Milan is a dodgy destination, more that numerous tourists manage to get caught out by pickpockets and lose baggage each year. Pickpockets mainly operate in high-density tourist areas and have a knack of catching tourists unawares when they are most vulnerable, such as on arrival at the main train station with map in hand and a bemused look on their face.

Car hire is very popular in Milan and there are some beautiful drives to be had to the north of the city; however, local drivers are not known for their good driving manners and dangerous country roads can also be a problem to the uninitiated, which increases the chances of accidents. Italy has a reciprocal health agreement with other EU nations, yet citizens of other nations should definitely make sure they also have medical cover.
