City Guide | Milan
Rich in history, art, fashion and food, join us as we explore one of the world’s most stylish cities.
Fondazione Prada
The Fondazione Prada building is clad entirely in gold leaf and a 60-meter-tall white concrete tower which stand behind the more muted tones of northern Italian industrial facades. Spanning the worlds of art, design and fashion, Prada’s cultural centre offers permanent and temporary exhibition spaces, a movie theatre and a Wes Anderson-designed café.
Largo Isarco 2, 20139 Milano, Italy
Altalen
Owners Antonia de Luca and Elena Todros began their professional partnership by collaborating on a collection for Pitti Uomo in 2010. Fast forward two years later and they opened their own millinery boutique on a quiet street in eastern Milan. The interior of the space serves as a laboratory for the duo’s creativity in giving life to the handmade hats.

28 Posti
As the name suggests, 28 Posti seats just 28 guests - the quaint two-room restaurant is located within walking distance of Milan’s bustling Navigli canals. The menu is focused exclusively on seasonal produce which changes every four weeks, created by Noma-trained chef Marco Ambrosino as a contemporary take on traditional Italian cuisine.
