Milan’s skyline can also be admired from restaurants and bars. Among them:

1. Terrazza Palestro: lunch, aperitifs, and dinner with breathtaking view.

2. The Dome: Italian restaurant & rooftop bar.

3. Giacomo Arengario: a historic name in Milan’s restaurant scene overlooking the Duomo.

4. Maio Restaurant: on the seventh floor of La Rinascente.

5. Ceresio 7: a rooftop cocktail bar and restaurant, featuring two panoramic pools.

6. Horto Restaurant: sustainable and innovative cuisine awarded a Michelin star.

It is especially from above that you can fully appreciate the charm of that oneof-a-kind blend of history and modernity that deﬁnes a city like Milan. Here are ten must-see spots from which to admire this unique skyline.

DUOMO TERRACES

We’re on the roof of Italy’s largest cathedral, a masterpiece of Neo-Gothic architecture. 8,000 square meters of terraces, where you can lose yourself in a forest of 135 spires, ﬂying butresses, pinnacles, and statues, until you reach the golden embrace of the Madonnina and gaze out at a magnificent view of the city. The terraces are open daily from 9 am to 7 pm (last admission at 6:10 pm); you can purchase a ticket speciﬁcally for the terraces or one for the entire monumental complex.

BRANCA TOWER

In the heart of Sempione Park, the tower designed by Gio Ponti in 1933 rises to a height of 108.6 meters. An elevator takes you to the observation

deck in less than a minute, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of Castello Sforzesco, the Arco della Pace, and, on clear days, the mountains. Until September 30, it is open Tuesday through Sunday with varying hours; for information and reservations: +39 02 3314120, +39 335 6847122, torre@branca.it.

TERRAZZA TRIENNALE

Not far away, from the roof of the Palazzo dell’Arte, the view takes in Sempione Park, the Torre Branca, Castello Sforzesco, and the skyscrapers of Porta Nuova, with the Fontana Bagni misteriosi – created in 1973 by Giorgio de Chirico –in the foreground. Access is reserved for museum visitors and guests of the Innocenti Evasioni restaurant.

MUSEO DEL NOVECENTO

The Sala Fontana at the Museo del Novecento – with its ceiling illuminated by Lucio Fontana’s neon installation – offers an extraordinary vantage point to admire the beauty of Milan’s Duomo and its square,

especially at sunset, when the cathedral’s marble glows with golden reﬂections. Admission is included with the museum ticket.

HIGHLINE MILANO

Suspended above the Galleria Vitorio Emanuele II, this 250-meter-long walkway, 40 meters above the ground, runs along the historic iron and glass roof structure until it reaches a panoramic terrace overlooking the Duomo. You can choose between individual access (Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm, last admission at 5:30 pm) or a guided tour.

BATTLEMENTS OF CASTELLO SFORZESCO

A fascinating itinerary that winds through towers, courtyards, and dizzying climbs. The route starts at the Roccheta and ascends to the Torre di Bona, where you can admire Milan with fresh eyes: from the Gothic cathedral to the Bosco Verticale, from the Torre Unicredit to the vast urban landscape. The route

is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10 am to 5 pm (last admission), with a special ticket.

ti. On the 31st ﬂoor (127 meters high), open only for events and special occasions, the futuristic Jannacci observation deck oﬀers a view that stretches all the way to the Prealps. For more information, visit the website of the Lombardy Regional Council, which is now headquartered there.

PALAZZO LOMBARDIA

Even higher up, at 150 meters (39th ﬂoor), the Palazzo Lombardia observation deck – home to the Regional Executive – oﬀers a close-up view of Milan’s new vertical skyline. For information on opening hours, visit experience.regione.lombardia.it.

UNICREDIT TOWER

At 231 meters, it is Italy’s tallest skyscraper. The top is accessible only on special occasions, but even from Piazza Gae Aulenti, its striking presence speaks to the Milan of the future.

TORRE FONDAZIONE PRADA

To admire a less monumental but equally fascinating side of Milan – one made up of neighborhoods undergoing transformation – simply take the spectacular elevator in the tower of Fondazione Prada, which leads to the terrace of the museum’s restaurant on the 6th ﬂoor. Access is granted with a museum ticket or for restaurant guests.

FLOATING THE LAKE

Lake Como from Lecco to Bellagio, following the ﬂow of the water and certain hotels that seem to have appeared there by chance – but certainly haven’t

text by Teresa Favi

Mandarin Oriental, Lake Como

Lake Como is not simply a destination: it is a natural theater where time seems to have chosen to slow down with elegance. Today, it is a place that has perfectly embraced its reputation and, with a certain elegance, has ceased to resist it.

From Lecco to Bellagio, the lake alternates between discretion and drama with natural ease. The villas follow one another like invitations that are not entirely random; the hotels seem to belong to an undeﬁned era; and the landscape – amidst mountains and reﬂections – retains that quality that is not easy to put into words, though we might venture to describe it as ‘intentionally perfect’.

LECCO

The point where the lake pretends to be discreet and opens up with a certain reserve, as if it wanted to avoid making a big scene. The mountains embrace it with gentle ﬁrmness, and the town sets the tone for

the journey with a surprisingly urban feel. Then, slowly, everything stretches out, relaxes, and prepares for the most scenic part.

BLEVIO

In other words, the art of elegant subtlety. Shortly afer Como, the road begins to behave beter: it narrows, curves, and becomes more in-

IS A NATURAL THEATER WHERE TIME SLOWS WITH

ELEGANCE

teresting. In Blevio, the Mandarin Oriental, Lake Como occupies the historic Villa Roccabruna as if it had decided not to disturb the landscape, but simply to become part of it. It is a whispered, almost shy luxury that observes

the lake rather than dominating it. The light architecture, the glass surfaces, and the tranquility of the park create a rareﬁed retreat, where the lake becomes an integral part of the experience, almost a natural extension of the room. Here, time seems to have a rather strict threshold. (Via Caronti 69) COMO

The city that knows it is more than just a city. Como exudes the conﬁdence typical of places that have understood their role in history. Between the Duomo and the rationalist architecture, the lakeside promenade already evokes a certain languor reminiscent of a Central European resort. In the heart of the city, Palazzo Venezia overlooks the water with the air of someone who has decided not to choose between a hotel and a private residence.

With just a few rooms and a privileged view of the lake, it oﬀers a more intimate form of hospitality, where luxury

is expressed through discretion – almost aristocratically reluctant to draw atention to itself.

It belongs to that category of places that prefer to be discovered rather than advertised. (Piazza Cavour 24)

CERNOBBIO

Where the lake becomes a statement of style. In Cernobbio, the lake deﬁnitively ceases to be mere geography and becomes pure aesthetics. Villa d’Este is the great classic that needs no introduction, yet continues to receive it nonetheless.

A masterpiece of Renaissance architecture converted into a hotel in 1873, it is one of the absolute symbols of Lake Como. Its park seems to have been designed by someone with a suspicious amount of free time and a very precise sensibility for beauty. It’s the kind of place where the idea of ‘season’ is more of a social convention than a meteorological fact. (Via Regina 40)

MOLTRASIO AND SURROUNDINGS

Here is the stretch for contemplation. Heading north, the lake grows quieter. Here the villas are more discreet, the pace is slower, and even the boats seem to follow an unwriten code of conduct. It’s the part of the journey

BEYOND,

VILLAS, HOTELS AND VILLAGES ALTERNATE BETWEEN DISCRETION AND DRAMA

where you begin to realize that the lake isn’t a backdrop, but the protagonist, with a character all its own.

TORNO

The point where the contemporary takes center stage. In Torno, the landscape shifs gears without asking per-

mission. The Sereno Lago di Como is probably the most elegant possible answer to the question, “How does one build on the lake today without nostalgia?” Clean lines, architectural silence, and a constant sensation that someone has removed everything that wasn’t strictly necessary –including, perhaps, a certain notion of noise.

(Via Torrazza 10)

TREMEZZINA

The lake at its most spectacular. On the opposite shore, the lake presents one of its most theatrical interpretations. The Grand Hotel Tremezzo is the undisputed star of this stretch and one of the lake’s most recognizable landmarks since 1910: impossible to ignore, even if you tried. Here, the lakeside vacation becomes a literary genre in its own right, complete with a ﬂoating pool. Its identity is built on the idea of the Italian lakeside vacation in its most picturesque form: colors, light, water, and gardens intertwine in a

perfectly balanced harmony. Even today, it retains the atmosphere of a grand lakeside home, animated by a lively, unpretentious elegance, where the past coexists with a contemporary sensibility. Not far away, the view of Bellagio does the rest, with that natural tendency to always seem slightly unreal. (Via Regina 8)

MENAGGIO

The composure of Art Nouveau style. In Menaggio, the Grand Hotel Victoria offers a more refined and contemporary take on lakeside luxury. An Art Deco building brought back to life, where the dominant feeling is one of very well-designed calm. It’s the kind of place that never raises its voice, yet knows perfectly well it is being heard – capable of embodying the new era of hospitality on the lake: refined, international, yet still deeply rooted in the context from which it springs. (Viale Benedeto Castelli 9/13)

GRIANTE

The lake’s new language. Here, the Lake Como EDITION introduces a diﬀerent set of rules. Less historic, more international, more ﬂuid. We are in a place that belongs to the new generation of luxury: less formal yet still deeply dramatic. The nineteenth-century palace isn’t reinterpreted – it’s recalibrated. The result is a luxury that speaks a more contemporary language, yet continues to respect the lake’s natural setting, which never needs improving. (Via Statale 125)

BELLAGIO

The point where everything converges. Bellagio needs no explanation, only a certain respect when pronouncing its name. It is the point where the lake divides and multiplies, as if it wanted to oﬀer multiple perspectives at once. Here, one of the lake’s last great historic hotels still capable of evoking the golden age of aristocratic travel – the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni

– embodies the most classic and unﬂappable version of lakeside hospitality: historic salons, subdued lighting, and that distinct sensation of having stepped into an era that has never truly drawn to a close. Overlooking the lake’s most iconic spot, the hotel maintains a classic, almost theatrical elegance, where every detail seems to belong to a story spanning more than a century (Via T. Olivelli 1, Bellagio). The hotels, villas, gardens, and villages of Lake Como are not mere stops along the way: they are variations on the same theme, each with its own distinct idea of perfection. And in the end, when you leave, you always have the feeling that the lake has remained exactly as it was – slightly more beautiful than you remembered it, which seems almost unfair. You don’t travel along Lake Como to get somewhere. You travel along it to accept that the journey itself is where it’s worth being.

MILAN IN THE SUMMER

Swimming pools where you can spend days of endless relaxation

text by Martina Olivieri

When temperatures rise, Milan responds with a network of swimming pools that spans the city – a sort of summer geography of water spread across residential neighborhoods, large parks, and terraces suspended against the skyline.

From public facilities managed by Milanosport – ofen surrounded by greenery and designed as true urban gathering places – to the more intimate and private roofop pools at hotels, the city’s offerings provide complementary ways to enjoy the warm season. The result is a mosaic of places that differ in function and atmosphere, yet are united by the same promise: to offer a respite from the city’s fast pace, amid swimming, sunshine, and brief moments of summer respite.

BAGNI MISTERIOSI

In the heart of Porta Romana, the Bagni Misteriosi is Milan’s most iconic and beloved swimming pool. Restored and reopened to the public by the Franco Parenti Theater in 2016, the large 33x33-meter square pool – originally the Cainarca swimming pool from the 1930s – is now a space that combines swimming and culture. The facility is suitable for everyone, from families to casual swimmers, and hosts events, shows, and evening aperitifs throughout the summer.

CARDELLINO SWIMMING POOL

Open through August 30, the Cardellino Swimming Pool is one of the most popular summer destinations in the Lorenteggio neighborhood. Surrounded by greenery and easily accessible thanks to its large parking lot, the facility

– managed by Milanosport –features a 50-meter outdoor Olympic-size pool. Rounding out the oﬀerings are a fully equipped sun deck, a 25-meter indoor pool, a gym, and numerous sports classes, ranging from swimming and aqua ﬁtness to water polo and synchronized swimming.

SANT’ABBONDIO

SWIMMING POOL

Just a short walk from the Navigli, the municipal swimming pool managed by Milanosport is open through August 30, 2026. The facility features a 50-meter outdoor pool, ideal for open swimming in the summer, and a 25-meter indoor pool dedicated to classes and activities year-round. The facility is rounded out by a spacious sun deck and a fully equipped gym. Amenities include open swimming, classes for all ages, water ﬁtness, water polo, and synchronized

While Leonardo da Vinci was in Milan, Duke Ludovico il Moro gave him a vineyard in the centre of the city in appreciation for the magniﬁcent works he was creating to embellish the ducal city. This was Leonardo’s Vineyard: reopened to the public for Expo 2015, the vineyard is located near Santa Maria

It was originally a fortress built by Gian Galeazzo Visconti in the 15th century. One hundred years later, Francesco Sforza made it his noble residence afer taking possession of Milan. Ludovico Sforza founded one of the most sophisticated courts in Europe and called the best artists of the time to embellish the castle, including Leonardo da Vinci and Filarete. The imposing building today is a unique museum complex divided into the Civic Museums, which house permanent exhibitions and a rich program of temporary art shows and events. It includes the Museum of Ancient Art, the Egyptian Museum, the Museum of Prehistory and Protohistory, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Museum of Musical Instruments, the Museum of Furniture and Wooden Sculptures, the Trivulziana Library, the Pinacoteca, and the Pietà Rondanini.
