5 things to do in Milan this weekend From 27 to 29 May

Between university sessions or afternoons in offices, we spend the year looking forward to summer only to realise that summer in Milan is a bit like one of the seven plagues of Egypt: it's hot and there are a lot of bugs. Before Fashion Week brings with it rivers of alcohol and good nights to confuse our senses, to make it all more bearable there is 5 things: a guide to catching the best of Milan in the weekend to come.

To Eat - Vietnamonamour

The Brera Botanical Garden is a true museum and historical garden dating back to 1774, located in the heart of Milan within the Palazzo Brera cultural complex. It was the Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria who transformed it into the Botanical Garden as part of a wide-ranging project to promote agriculture and the arts. Here the students of the Gymnasium learned about the plant world and medicinal plants were cultivated for the nearby Spezieria Braidense, now a place open to the public to enjoy a bit of nature in the middle of the city.
