Hen weekend in Milan this weekend, any suggestions?

[WinomoreTheFruitbat]

It's my hen weekend and I'm sure the girls have lots planned but is there anything we can't miss? Good night clubs? bars? restaurants? Shops?
I also need a good but not expensive cake shop as it's one of the girls' 30th birthday while we're there

Has no one been to Milan?

Not an expert on Milan but:

• Shops around GAlleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the Cathedral (Duomo). Designer gear in via Montenapoleone o via della Spiga;
• Bars in the "Navigli" area of Milan. That seems to be the trendy area at the mo;
• If you are spending some time sightseeing I would actually recommend taking a train to the Como lakes... Milan has not got huge sightseeing opportunities
• Sorry, cannot recommend a bakery as have not been there for ages but most patisseries ("pasticcerie" in Italian) will have creamy nice birthdays cakes to buy there and then so I would not worry too much about that (unless you want a traditional fruit cake in which case you better take it from the UK!).

Sorry I cannot be of more help - this is all I know!

I would second the Navigli. I haven't been for 10 years though so I'm guessing the clubs I went to may be a bot out of date now but at the time there was Propaganda and we also used to frequent another one 'under the arches' which I have forgotten the name of sorry.

There is also an Irish bar called Pogue Mahones on Corso Lodi www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GZEZ_en-GB&q=pogue+mahones+milan

And get some stand up pizza - 'Magic Pizza' might still be there near the Duomo - its Spizzico - fast food but delish!

Checkout the park on sunny afternoons.

Also a rock bar called Naked Thunder also on Corsa Lodi - it's a great place though, ran by Roberto, if you are into that sort of thing - no naked anything though! Stick to Pogue Mahones if not
