5 things to do this weekend in Milan From 18 to 20 July
Another weekend to spend in Milan, with the heat returning and events winding down. For those staying in the city and unable to cool off at the beach, there’s no better time to discover what the Lombard capital has to offer during these quieter days. You can enjoy its restaurants, museums, and shops without the usual crowds of the spring weekends, while the parks are more spacious than ever.
Here are 5 things to do in Milan this weekend, from July 18 to 20.
To Eat - Cucina Triennale
Among interiors inspired by 1930s Triennale design, Cucina Triennale has recently opened, a restaurant overlooking the greenery of the museum’s scenic park, in Sempione. From bar service to dinner, the venue offers Milanese classics as well as plant-based experiments like lentil meatballs with marinara sauce. Best enjoyed between an exhibition and a walk through the art installations in the Triennale garden.
Viale Emilio Alemagna, 6
To Discover - Dorothea Lange @ Diocesan Museum
A short walk from the Colonne di San Lorenzo, you can see the work of Dorothea Lange in person, an American photographer who captured the 20th century with a strongly political lens. Through 140 shots, the exhibition traces Lange's artistic history and his extremely human narrative.
Piazza Sant'Eustorgio, 3
To Chill - Villa Necchi Campiglio
Sunday marks the beginning of the FAI Summer Evenings events, which will light up the spaces of Villa Necchi with a concert blending nu-soul, jazz, and hip-hop genres, along with the opportunity to visit the evocative spaces of the historic house designed by Piero Portaluppi in the 1930s.
Via Mozart, 14
To Shop - Potlatch
Originally opened as an independent bookstore and cultural gathering spot, Potlatch sells books, magazines, records, and photographs of all kinds. The selection is wide and well-curated, waiting to be explored in a room filled with paper. Whether you're looking for a new novel to get lost in, inspiration for a creative project, or a poster to decorate your home, you’ll surely have fun here.
Via Padova, 65
To Party - Take it Easy @ Parco Lambro
Before heading off on vacation, Take it Easy has one more party planned. On Friday evening, in the skatepark area of Parco Lambro, a DJ set featuring Dirty Channels, DJLIMP, and Tayga will kick off from 5 PM until night. Admission is free.
