For those who prefer to spend a less formal day, a nice picnic in one of Milan's beautiful parks is also perfect. Here the hardest part is choosing the perfect place between Parco Sempione, Parco Nord and the Indro Montanelli gardens.
VISIT TO THE MUSEUM
If the weather is not so good, the obvious choice is to visit a museum. If you don't know where to start, we leave you with our article on the 10 must-see museums. If you've already visited these and want something new, you can visit the Triennale, Fondazione Prada and the Church of San Bernardino alle ossa, where you can see an ancient ossuary from the 1600s.
BIKE TOUR
If you are the sporty type, a bike ride is a must. You can take advantage of the day to discover new corners of Milan or even move on to farmsteads around the city. A beautiful route is the one from Porta Genova, along the Naviglio Grande, to Lake Como.
If you prefer closer excursions, we recommend a climb up Monte Stella, also known as the
Montagnetta. Located near San Siro, this is one of the city's magnificent parks where you can spend an afternoon immersed in the green. You can also enjoy a beautiful view of the city.
A DAY AT THE SPA

Did you know you could enjoy your last day in Milan without carrying this weight around the city?
