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.

The main seating area, just through the front doors, is a collage of wooden tables, bookshelves and the great exchange of cultures you hope to find at a fun, young hostel. There is also a large hang-out in the basement where they host concerts, art shows, and even a Christmas market in early December.
