Fortunately, this weekend promises to be full of light, with sunny days, but equally chilly. As every week, the nss weekly recommendations column returns for your free time, this time rich in indoor experiences, to enjoy the comfort of a warm cup of tea.

Here, then, are 5 things to do in Milan this weekend, from December 15th to 17th.

A bit bar, a bit restaurant, Polpo is a dynamic and contemporary 1980s trattoria. Seafood dishes enrich appetizers and complete meals in a quality selection that also includes raw proposals. Born from the mind of the Michelin-starred chef Viviana Varese, Polpo is a convivial and warm restaurant project, a space with a retro soul immersed in blue.

Where to relax in Milan - Namascé

Namascé, "let's go" in Puglian, is a cozy cocktail bar with an evocative setting and refined drinks.

Namascé's cocktail selection harmoniously pairs with the menu, featuring tapas and light appetizers to share. To complete the package, small concerts and DJ sets alternate every weekend, bringing the evening to life. Namascé?
