How to Spend 24 Hours in Milan

For dinner, head to La Gioia, a refined yet welcoming restaurant where the focus is on classic Italian comfort. Order any of the pastas or risottos – each done exactly as it should be – and finish the meal, of course, with tiramisu.

Just a short walk away, Veramente offers another excellent option. The menu blends creativity with familiar flavours, and the restaurant’s house-made gelato provides the perfect finale. Even those who don’t usually go for ice cream may find themselves surprised.

Milan is also a city that thrives on events: from Fashion Week and Salone del Mobile to a packed calendar of exhibitions, performances and sporting events, there is almost always something happening. It’s worth checking what’s on during your visit if you’re looking to add another experience to the evening.

For those seeking something truly special, keep an eye on the Serie A football league schedule. If AC Milan or Inter are playing at San Siro, securing a ticket is well worth the effort. Even visitors who are not devoted football fans often find the atmosphere unforgettable – watching a match in one of Europe’s most legendary stadiums is an experience you won’t easily forget.
