5 things to do in Milan this weekend From May 29th to June 2nd

Summer has arrived in Milan, or rather, the sudden heat that announces a rather torrid season ahead. Fortunately, this weekend is expected to bring some clouds and perhaps even rain, ideal conditions ahead of the long weekend just around the corner. If you haven’t planned a trip out of town or will be staying in Milan by choice, nss magazine’s weekly column is here to suggest a few ideas to make the most of these days and perhaps even find a way to deal with the unexpected heat.

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

To Eat – L’Uccellina Milano


If you feel like treating yourself to a meat dinner immersed in the atmosphere of a Tuscan farmhouse, you should try L’Uccellina. A location where its Tuscan identity is especially reflected in the meat dishes, including grilled specialties, while the rest of the menu follows a Mediterranean inspiration.

Corso Magenta, 96

To Chill – Bagni Misteriosi

On Monday, June 1st, the curtain officially rises on the summer season of Bagni Misteriosi, which will finally reopen to the public from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, inaugurating the new summer season. What better solution, then, to relax with an aperitivo or even work poolside?

Via Carlo Botta, 18/A

To Discover – “ARNALDO POMODORO. UNA VITA.”

On the occasion of the centenary of Arnaldo Pomodoro’s birth, Gallerie d’Italia inaugurates “ARNALDO POMODORO. UNA VITA. Le grandi opere delle Collezioni Intesa Sanpaolo e Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro”, curated by Luca Massimo Barbero and Federico Giani. The exhibition pays tribute to one of the most important figures in Italian and international contemporary art of the second half of the twentieth century, retracing over sixty years of the artist’s works, research and life.

To Shop – COMMERCE


COMMERCE is at once a bookstore, exhibition space and cultural laboratory: a place where independent publishing finds its voice while exploring the boundaries of contemporaneity. Exhibitions and book launches alternate through ever-changing focuses, giving character and identity to the bookstore. In short, a precious place to explore and find inspiration.

Via Tadino, 30

To Party - Darsena Open Air


On Saturday, May 30th, Milan will host an event destined to leave its mark: the first and only Open Air event of the season in the heart of the Darsena. From 4:00 PM until late evening, the square will transform into an open space dedicated to music, urban culture and sharing, with DJ sets, food trucks, bar areas and stands accompanying the public throughout an entire day of energy and entertainment.
