Hello. We'll be in Milan for a couple of days in early June. Our hotel, Genius Hotel Downtown, is more or less halfway between Duomo Terrace and Basilicia di Santa Maria delle Grazie. We'll be visiting those two places, along with some other popular tourists attractions in the general area like Castello Sforzesco. We may want to venture out a little farther and visit places like Pinacoteca di Brera.
Looking at the map, it seems like taxing around would be the most efficient. It doesn't seem like there are a lot of direct subway lines between these places.
But I read that you can't hail a taxi in Milan on the street; you have to walk to a taxi stand. Well, that makes it much less efficient to take a taxi, and it's unclear from the map where the stands are.
So what can we do to reliably hail a taxi in Milan without having to walk a long ways to find one? We do not speak Italian. Just English and Spanish. Thanks.
