5 things to do in Milan this weekend

We have reached the end of the busiest month of the year. September, with all its restarts and new beginnings, with all its unforeseen events and preparations it forces us to think about, is over in the blink of an eye, and October is ready to shift the weather towards a fresh and intoxicating autumn. Or at least one hopes. After Milan Fashion Week, the city seems to have deflated, but there are still plenty of events and venues to discover this weekend. As always, we have collected the best suggestions for your weekdays. Here are 5 things to do in Milan from 29 September to 1 October.

Where to eat in Milan - Onest Milano

Onest Milano is not just any restaurant, but an avant-garde oasis of intimacy. In a cosy garden, between the blue-painted walls of this restaurant, you can enjoy dishes and wines from 9 a.m. until the wee hours of the day. If you fancy a dinner or an aperitif away from the Milanese hustle and bustle, but don't want to give up the culinary experimentation of which the city is an expert, Onest is for you.
