In the heart of Milan, nestling among the city’s busiest streets and just a stone’s throw from NEMI, Via Lincoln is a delightful surprise that feels like it belongs in a novel. Also known as the Rainbow District or “the Burano of Milan”, this picturesque little street is one of the metropolis’ best hidden gems. Dating from the late 19th century, it’s known for its bright, colourful houses in a kaleidoscope of shades from yellow and green to pink and blue, making a unique and vibrant contrast with the surrounding area.
In the heart of Milan, NEMI is near one of the most prestigious musical institutions in Europe: the Giuseppe Verdi Milan Conservatory. Founded in 1808, this symbol of Italy’s musical tradition has trained generations of conductors, composers and musicians from Riccardo Muti and Alfredo Antonini to Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. In addition to the conservatory tour, you also get a special chance to meet a master luthier and visit a workshop where the instruments take shape, to complete your experience of Milan’s musical soul.
Here in the heart of Milan, the city that never stops, what are the chances of finding a hidden haven of peace and quiet where you can stroll among other-worldly sculptures, glimpsed romantic views and oddball buildings that could have come straight out of a noir novel?

Well, here it is: the Quadrilatero del Silenzio, a labyrinth of streets where art, history and architecture come together in an atmosphere of timeless calm.
Milan isn’t just the city of fashion, design and business. Don’t be surprised to find dedicated spaces and activities for children amid the shopping streets and the jostling traffic, places where the whole family can have fun and learn something new.

Among the skyscrapers and hidden courtyards of Milan, there’s a place where past and present come together in a graceful, fluid dance.

To discover the Bagni Misteriosi in Milan is to plunge into an unexpected and mesmeric encounter, an invitation to see and savour Milan in a different light, complete with a special experience: aperitivo by the pool.
