5 things to do in Milan this weekend

The warmth has finally invaded Milan: for the first time in 2024, the city reached nearly 20 degrees. We can therefore kick off the weekends spent outdoors to enjoy a pleasant weekend that effectively prepares us for the arrival of spring a week early. The guide from nss magazine comes to your aid to help you discover the five most interesting activities to do.

Where to Eat - Yapa

A cuisine with Asian and South American influences, contemporary drinks that surpass the boundaries of mixology as we know it. Going to YAPA is a multisensory experience: the dim lights and musical accompaniment allow the customer to relax and prepare the senses to discover the creations of Tuscan chef Matteo Pancetti and Matias Sarli, available to accompany the tasting with an excellent cocktail. At Yapa, in fact, you can opt for a pairing experience where the bar and kitchen work in unison.

What to Visit - Metafore

Additionally, a series of drawings by Sottsass from the same years are also displayed at the Triennale.
