What to do in Milan in August

We know that summer in the city is not always the best. What can you do then to overcome this scorching heat? Luckily Milan does not abandon us and organises various events to enliven the summer and make us (at least for one night!) Forget about beaches and cocktails on the other side of the ocean.

Outdoor cinema

Back to Milan the outdoor cinema Arianteo that, from 4 June until 12 September, will play in the 4 suggestive locations of Palazzo Reale, CityLife, Umanitaria and Chiostro dell’Incoronata, a series of the best films among those of the programming of the months past, as well as various previews, classics, first visions, to end then with exceptional events and guests. Unique environments and quality films will accompany you for what that will be a pleasant evening under the stars.

For those who want to enjoy a good movie in a location that offers a certain unforgettable experience there is the Cinema Bianchini‘s proposal: fromthe rooftops of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele you can see the best films by Medusa and Cineteca Italiana sitting in comfortable armchairs and enjoying a small sweet offered by Panarello pastry shop. Cinema Bianchini awaits you in August for a nice “Roman Holiday” or a “Midnight in Paris”!

Wellness

With its 9600sqm, the spectacular location of the Bagni Misteriosi offers not only the daytime and nightly bathing service, but also interesting cocktails by the pool with cocktail parties and DJ sets. In addition you can also see the theatre performancesof the adjacent Franco Parenti theatre admiring in the meantime the blue water of the pool. Meeting point for Milanese and not, for a relaxing break in the midst of the commitments of the day or as an oasis of well-being.

If the stress is a lot but the holidays are still far away, why not treat yourself to a beautiful wellness path at the QC Terme? Hot tubs and hydrojets, sensory pools and waterfalls, biosaunas and steam baths are just some of the wellness experiences on offer. If you want to try the latest Milan trend in SPA environment, and relax in a curious location, here you are satisfied: QC Terme offers “tram del benessere”, which is a real historical Carrelli tram of the last century, used as a biosauna and placed in the garden of the baths. The brazier placed at the centre of the tram allows to reach 70 degrees, and from the ceiling come delicate scents such as freshly baked bread, vanilla, biscuits or honey.

Exclusive aperitivo

Why not let yourself be tempted by the most Italian of habits, the aperitivo, admiring the panorama of the Milan skyline?

Starry nights

How not to spend the night of August 10 with the nose up? To feel a little closer to the stars, Neiade offers a guided tour on the night of San Lorenzo, on the Highline Galleria, to admire the city from above and to hear fascinating stories and legends about the place and the constellations.

If you are those head-in-the-clouds kind of people, the  Planetarium, the iconic place in Porta Venezia, is the right place for you. From here you can admire the starry sky, also thanks toguided observations, themed conferences or musical performances.

Routes on the Navigli

Did you know that you don’t need to go to Venice for a gondola tour? In fact, the Navigli System offers 4 fascinating itineraries of the Darsena, the Conche, the Delizie and the Martesana that enhance Milan, the key places of the city and its history from a different point of view. With the NavigarMangiando tour, moreover, you can browse the Navigli in the evening, stop in a typical restaurant where you can enjoy a typical Milanese dinner, then relax on the way back, being lulled by the Naviglio, until you reach your destination, which will be at the starting point of the very same tour.
