5 things to do in Milan this weekend
November 3 to 5
November 3rd, 2023
Deluge in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon. If this is the new weather rule in Milan, we might hope to get outside this weekend. Falling temperatures invite us to stay indoors and quiet places, to look for small restaurants where we can eat with friends, to start the coming winter hibernation with a bit of sweetness. Milan fortunately offers numerous opportunities, and we are here to list the best ones for you.
So here are the 5 things to do in Milan this weekend.
Where to eat in Milan – Sidewalk Kitchens
Sort of hub where Milan's most promising street food names take turns gathering. It's basically like five different restaurants in one. Our favorite is Katsusanderia, which makes Japanese sandwiches, but Chuck's burgers are no joke either. The great thing, though, is the sense of community, of a little neighborhood place. Perfect for any time on the weekend.
Via Bonvesin de la Riva, 3
Where to chill in Milan – LOM Dopolavoro
We know, on weekends you don't even want to hear about work, but this cocktail bar with kitchen in the Cenisio area, carved out of a historic farmhouse is truly a treat. Enjoy the last suns of autumn here.
Via Galileo Ferraris, 1
Where to shop in Milan – Ditta Guenzati
Historic Milanese shopping mainstay, open since 1768. While the store still deals in textiles of all kinds, the real treat are the Scottish wool hats and sweaters perfect for the coming winter and of incredible quality. But inside the store, dedicated to the British world in its entirety, you can really find everything-including some great vibes.
Via Agnello, 8
What to visit in Milan – Goya – La ribellione della Ragione @ Palazzo Reale
Does Francisco Goya need any introduction? If you think the answer is "no," you are already planning to visit the exhibition. If you think the answer is "yes," we invite you to visit the exhibition to see why you are wrong. The opportunity to be able to see his masterpieces at the Royal Palace (the exhibition runs until March 3) is truly incredible and you should seize it in the days ahead.
Piazza Duomo, 12
Where to club in Milan – Dìa de los Muertos @ Giardino dei Visionari
Nostalgic about Halloween? At the Visionary Garden, the party continues this weekend with Dìa de los Muertos and DJs Carla Valenti, Aldave and Sole Dosi, as well as two residents Etna and Restless. One recommendation: easy on the tequila.
Via Valtellina, 21
