After the sad, rainy week we've just been through, Milan seems to be willing to grant us a few moments of respite this weekend. With the Christmas season now seemingly just around the corner, what better opportunity to treat yourself to some outdoor activities? Here are five things to do in Milan this weekend before surrendering to movie marathons under the blankets and endless cookie recipes.
To Eat - unica pizzeria romana
It's been a hit in Rome for years and has now finally arrived in Milan. If you're in the mood for a crispy pizza, this is the place for you. In the Porta Romana area, Jacopo Mercurio brings a round pizza inspired by Roman tradition but with techniques more reminiscent of pan pizza and more generous toppings. With both old-school options and unique pizzas, the menu is designed to be accessible to the Milanese crowd.
Via Emilio Morosini, 25
To Chill - Luceferma
More than just a bar, LUCEFERMA is a space that brings a touch of the Mediterranean to the heart of Milan. Here, the day doesn't necessarily follow the clock: you can have breakfast in the afternoon, stop for a light lunch, or treat yourself to an aperitivo with small plates to share. The kitchen, helmed by Sicilian chef Bianca Celano, draws primarily from the traditions of southern Italy, featuring arancini, granita with brioche, cannoli and rosticceria specialities. A little corner of Sicily in the city, to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

To Discover - SOMO @Superstudio Più
For those who love design and objects with a story to tell, SOMO – Solo Modernariato returns to Milan with its sixth edition. Within the spaces of Superstudio Più, over 70 exhibitors showcase furniture, accessories and iconic pieces from the twentieth century, from Gio Ponti to Ettore Sottsass. Featuring rarities, designer lamps and ceramics, the fair celebrates the allure of vintage modernism and the value of reuse, with offerings for both collectors and new enthusiasts.

To Shop - Pop up Diana Studio
For three days, Diana Studio brings its knitwear world to Milan with a special pop-up titled "Piacere di Conoscerti." At Spazio Milesi, visitors will be able to discover the brand up close, explore the collection and try on pieces. It all kicks off on Thursday, 12 November with an opening party featuring a vinyl set by Isma; with every purchase, a blanket made from yarns recovered from the brand's production will be given as a gift.

To Party - OXYGÈNE @DURO Club
Saturday night at DURO CLUB means dancing to OXYGÈNE, which for its tenth instalment brings GIGI FM to the decks. A multidisciplinary artist, the DJ crafts sets that move through techno, bass and breaks, weaving together physical energy and immersive atmospheres. Joining her is resident Enrico Vivaldi, for a night that brings two musical visions face to face on the same dance floor.
