If you love the unexpected discovery, if you’re feeling curious, if you love the glamor but also the bucolic, if you feel the city but you also want the campaign, then Milan is the place. Is this the city that unites the opposites. In just one weekend, walking through the streets of architecture offices and shopping, you can discover hidden corners of peace teeming with parallel life. Beautiful courtyards in every neighborhood reveal the false bottom of the city: Corso Venezia gardens of noble buildings like Palazzo Isimbardi and Casa Fontana Silvestri, until Porta Venezia; along the Cinque Vie and Brera the artisans’ workshops and antique dealers and pret-a-porter, the Naviglio ateliers of artists and in Corso San Gottardo what remains of the old factories. The neighborhood Island and Via Tortona area enclosing the places of design and creativity as the laboratory Constance Algranti, Lambrate winding galleries. But the courts are not only the hard-working places or the beautiful view. In some you can even have lunch, maybe under a tree in bloom. Not easy to find, but opportunity not to be missed for all local experience. In the southern outskirts of the city, where once there were farms and farmland, abbeys and monasteries, are some of the most beautiful restaurants in the city: Erba Brusca, Shambala, 4CENTO. But the oldest and linked to the history of Milan is definitely Al Garghet: a Milanese trattoria doc which dates back to the thirteenth century. For those who love the quiet comfort of the city center, the surprise comes in the chaotic Piazzale della Porta Genova Station. Without a hint lets you easily draw a thousand alternatives that the district offers, but the real joy is the number 3.
