When I was in Milan, the Metro blew my mind. Living in a small town by the sea, I'd never experienced the London Underground, so this was my first taste of true city transport. I'd recommend getting the Metro to everywhere as almost everything you'll want to do is a five minute walk or less. It has four lines: Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. The red, yellow and green lines are all very simple to understand, they'll be a map at the entrance to each platform showing the stops in the direction of that particular train - make sure you look at these so you don't end up travelling in the opposite direction. The blue line is pretty confusing, the train seems to have two floors (how cool!). We had to ask somebody who luckily turned out to know English, and even then the only reason we got to our detestation was by intently counting the stops. The trains usually stop running at about midnight.
There's a variety of tickets to suit your needs, here's the main ones:
Urban Ticket € 1.50
Single journey
10 Journey Ticket € 13.80
This will buy you a ticket which will allow you to take 10 journeys.
One Day Ticket € 4.50
This will last for 24 hours, so if you buy it at 5pm, it will be valid until 5pm the next day. If your going to a lot of different places in one day, its worth buying this over the 10 Journeys ticket.
