Milan shed its all-work-and-no-play reputation a long time ago, but these days, it’s especially in vogue. It’s feeling itself, you might say, and we’re here for it. Like other Italian cities, Milan is steeped in tradition; unlike other Italian cities, it keeps looking forward. The city is walkable (and has cute trams), historic and cutting edge (the art, the food, the hotels), and totally chic.
Our Fathom Favorites are designed as easy to use, tightly edited lists. Head to the link in bio for old classics, local standbys, and surprises like a private home with a backyard of flamingos, an eight-table cutie serving nonna-style magic, and Wes Anderson-designed gelateria. Andiamo a Milano!
