A Saturday that coincides with the beginning of June can only bring good news. As every week, we have gathered the best pastimes to discover in the Lombard capital during the weekend, a small list of things to do to satisfy the need for relaxation that comes every Friday. Milan predicts variable weather, but each of these suggestions can be enjoyed under a cloudy sky or in the sun.
Here, then, are 5 things to do in Milan this weekend, from May 31 to June 2.
Where to eat - Brolo Orto con Cucina
Brolo Orto con Cucina is a shop, a garden, and a restaurant. Born in Porta Venezia to offer a welcoming refuge to Milanese in the city center, the restaurant offers a vegetarian menu to celebrate the freshness and variety of seasonal vegetables. Additionally, you can buy the fresh produce directly from the restaurant, to "bring a bit of Brolo to your home".
Via Melzo, 19
What to visit - Fabbrica del Vapore
On May 9, Fabbrica del Vapore inaugurated Small Is Beautiful, the largest international exhibition dedicated to miniature art. Open until September 22, the exhibition hosts works by 40 prominent artists of the movement, including Vincent Bal and Danny Cortes. It is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a whole new world.
Via Giulio Cesare Procaccini, 4
Where to relax - Cups Ceramica Bar
Cups Ceramica Bar is a place to spend time with friends (or alone) painting objects while enjoying a snack or a drink. After choosing the object you want to paint, the staff will seat you at a table to start your work: they will take care of glazing and firing, you just need to focus on the creative part. A somewhat different idea for an outing with friends or a date, it is an unmissable opportunity for DIY lovers.
Via Ascanio Sforza, 29
Where to shop - Aesop Milan Cordusio
The Aesop boutique in Cordusio is a delight for all the senses. Evoking the 1960s aesthetic of the city's first rapid underground transport line, the store's spaces combine materials such as rubber, stone, and metal to transform the shopping experience into a sensory journey starting with sight. Inside a centuries-old building, the store transports the visitor into an abstract tunnel conceived as a modular scenography. From the wide velvet armchair to the central sinks, every element of the boutique infuses Aesop's signature with an irresistible futuristic flair.
Via dei Mercanti, 23
Where to have fun - Ex Macello
This weekend the Vans Skate & Surf Week returns to Ex Macello with a thrilling afterparty. After the opening on May 31 at Stazione Centrale, on June 1 and 2 the festival moves to explore new films, art exhibitions, skate competitions, skateboarding lessons, workshops, pop-up stores, and much more. The weekend concludes on Sunday evening with a DJ set by DJ Larry Masemero.
Viale Molise, 62
