“So we booked these flights to Milan and it cost us £31, which is incredible.”
The TikToker admitted: “Obviously Milan is a bit of an expensive city but honestly you spend the same amount of money as in London for example so we thought why not.”
“We had a little time to explore before the sun set, so I went to the Duomo di Milano and looked at the square at the end.”
He filmed stunning sunset views of the city, from the top of one of its most famous buildings.
Jamie continued: ‘Then we even had time to go to San Siro and ask why not. Got some pizza, got some Peroni, real Italian.
‘I also saw a castle, which was really nice under the lights. Then it was time to go to San Siro.
The Briton explained: “Obviously we had to go there, just in case they shoot it down.” I mean, I don’t really know what’s going on with this, but we managed to see it, we saw some ultra signs.
Next, he and his friends found time for another meal in the Navigli district, which consisted of tapas, carbonara and some wine.

He ended the video by saying, “So it’s time to go out and I’ll let you enjoy some dancers at this club called Alcatraz.”
Moving the camera around a busy nightclub, he recorded the bustling crowd and some dancers on stage.
Commenters were quick to quiz the TikToker on how much he spent while in the Italian city, with one writing: “How much did the whole trip cost then, mate?”
Jamie replied: ‘Between £100 and £200 including everything. Transportation, food, drinks. The same amount you’d spend in London, to be fair.
Another asked: ‘Where to find those cheap flights?’, to which the TikToker explained: ‘It’s easy lol, look a week before you want to go, they should be cheap enough!’
Meanwhile, a third joked: “It’s the hassle of all the airports that puts me off doing anything during the day.”
Jamie assured them: ‘Honestly, it’s not that bad. It was very easy to get out of Bergamo airport.’
Inspired, others tagged their friends writing: “Let’s do this” and “I want to do this in the future.”
