5 things to do in Milan this weekend From August 1 till 3

The first weekend of August has arrived, and the holidays finally feel within reach. Whether it's the sea, mountains, lakes, or hills, just one last push is needed before fully switching off. With temperatures finally matching the season, air conditioning remains the only constant, but spending the entire weekend indoors isn’t an option. For those who haven’t said “goodbye Milan” yet, this might be the perfect chance to close out the city with one last blazing-hot weekend — both literally and figuratively. As always, here’s the weekly selection of 5 things to do in Milan this weekend, curated by nss magazine.

To Eat – CasaNori

In the heart of Isola, CasaNori offers contemporary Japanese cuisine with a focus on hand rolls. Opened in fall 2024, the restaurant features a collaboration with Kato Shozo and Masako Sato, iconic figures behind the historic Tomoyoshi Endo. A minimalist setting and sharp attention to technique turn the menu into a meeting point between tradition and Milan’s new food scene.

Via Antonio Pollaiuolo, 5

To Chill – Bagni Misteriosi

An urban retreat in the Porta Romana district, Bagni Misteriosi offers a summer escape of swimming and relaxation. The pools are open from 10 AM to 6 PM, while the evening transforms the venue with the “barefoot aperitivo” format — cocktails served poolside in a setting suspended between golden light and rationalist architecture.

Via Carlo Botta, 18/A

To Discover – Breve storia di una famiglia @ Cinema Beltrade

Showing all weekend at Cinema Beltrade, the film Breve storia di una famiglia by Lin Jianjie tells an intimate family story set in the heart of Taipei. A narrative suspended between silences, generational conflicts, and domestic spaces, already regarded by critics as one of the year’s most significant titles. Tickets available on dice.fm.

Via Nino Oxilia, 10

To Shop – nss Edicola

Last days before the summer break to explore the new capsule collection by nss edicola in collaboration with Pasticceria Marchesi, including the still-available exclusive crossword issue. For a cuter vibe, the Melody Sei La Top t-shirt is the must-have piece to pack for the holidays.

Piazza Bruno Buozzi

To Party – Ultimo Goccio @ Santeria Toscana

Santeria hosts an evening of music and socializing to mark the season’s end. On the lineup: a DJ set by Marani, craft cocktails and beers, and special promotions throughout the Santeria Market. An ideal closing event before the August break.

Viale Toscana, 31
