5 things to do in Milan this weekend

Even this week all we can do is hope for some hours of good weather in Milan. The heavy thunderstorms have been hitting the city since April and show no signs of stopping. This weekend, at least on Sunday, the weather should give us moments of good weather, so our column dedicated to the best suggestions for your weekdays in the Lombard capital is focused on outdoor activities and spring shopping.

So, here are 5 things to do in Milan this weekend.

Where to Eat in Milan - Caruso Nuovo

The Nuovo Caruso Bistrot, located inside the Grand Hotel De Milan, offers a menu that blends the traditions of the north and south of the tricolor country, and it might be just what you're looking for this weekend. Curated and signed by the two Michelin-starred chef Gennaro Esposito of the Torre del Saracino restaurant in Vico Equense, it stands out for its outdoor seating suitable for these still spring days, as well as elegant interiors recently renovated. Unmissable desserts, first courses coming directly from Puglia or Sicily, but also. The many dishes to choose from have a mission: to pay homage to Mediterranean tradition.

What to Visit in Milan - Obey

The exhibition Obey, the first in Italy by Shepard Fairey, celebrates thirty-five years of his career. A rebellious artist, a product of American punk rock and hip hop cultures. The selection of works in the exhibition allows for a deep understanding of the creative process that underpins the artist's work. From experimenting with mediums to the formal simplicity of the representations, Obey's works lead the viewer to reflect on fundamental issues for the future of the planet, from respect for our surroundings to the quest for world peace. An integral part of this interesting project will be the creation of a mural, a lasting sign of Obey's presence in Milan that will greatly inspire those who stop to observe it and enrich one of the city's neighborhoods. The exhibition dedicated to the street artist Obey, organized by Wunderkammer, is an immersive journey into the history and urban universe of Shepard Fairey, who with his essential style has found the key to making his art universally understandable.

Where to Relax in Milan - Ultramarino

Located on Via Lambro, in the heart of Porta Venezia, Ultramarino has recently opened. After the closure of Marta’s Nature Bar, a venue inspired by the Spanish word meaning "submarine" has emerged. The inspiration is indeed maritime, as can be seen from what is on the menu and especially from the selected wines, coming from Mediterranean areas. It is a small wine bar where you can taste bottles from Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

Where to Shop in Milan - East Market

That East Market is one of the most popular vintage events in Milan is no news: it usually takes place in via Mecenate attracting visitors and tourists thanks to a varied selection of clothing and unique pieces. But with summer now approaching, East Market arrives in Porta Ticinese, an area already known for a large quantity of second-hand clothes. From Saturday, May 25th to Sunday, June 9th, the East Market staff changes location with a brand new format called Fill Your Bag.
