5 things to do in Milan over the Easter weekend

If you have not planned any out-of-town excursions for the Easter holidays or your work is bugging you even during the holiday season, do not be discouraged: Naviglio can look like a tropical paradise with the right amount of imagination and sunlight. Here's a list of things to do for a carefree Easter in the city centre.

To Eat - Da Berti

Risotto, osso buco, delicious starters and Angus steak of rare quality: if you are in Milan this Easter weekend, there's no better opportunity to try the typical Lombard cuisine of Da Berti, a historic restaurant in Isola that was recently remodelled and reopened in January.

Via Algarotti, 22

To Discover - Dali, Magritte, Man Ray and Surrealism

180 works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, documents, artefacts, from the collection of the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum, one of the most important museums in the Netherlands, in dialogue with some works from the Permanent Collection. The fil rouge of the exhibition on the fundamental as well as complex and articulated relationship between Surrealism and non-Western cultures shows the result of a research project on a very stimulating artistic 'syncretism' that manifested itself both in Europe and overseas.

Via Tortona, 56

To Chill - Cà-Ri-Co

Born in the vibrant heart of dynamic and creative Milan, Cà-Ri-Co is the first cocktail bistrot dedicated to casual dining and drinking. Hospitality, research and innovation are expressed here through a constantly evolving menu. A laboratory of ideas made of liquids and high quality raw materials, selected in direct dialogue with producers to offer new taste and social experiences.

Via Savona, 1

To Shop - Fiera dell'Angelo

At Easter, Milan hosts the traditional Fiera dell'Angelo, a historic flower market whose origins date back to the 13th century. Hundreds of colourful stalls with products of all kinds populate a large part of the Brera district, centred on the convent and church of Sant'Angelo: not only flowers, but also books, paintings, hats, clothes and gastronomic specialities.

Piazza Repubblica, Viale Monte Santo, Via Appiani, Via Moscova

To Club - Amnesia

As part of the new Extra Void event, Amnesia MilanoTechno returns on Friday 7 April, with Richey V and Simone Zino on the console.
