Milan beyond the Design Week

Curated and photographed by Christine Davis

“Milan Design Week is one of the best time of the year to visit this evolving cosmopolitan city. It’s during this one week that people from all over the world take over Milan. If this is your first time at Milan Design Week, be ready to accept that there will be too many events to keep up with! And for the amazing ones you do get to see, you will be criss-crossing all over the city, ducking in and out of crowded venues that may leave you exhausted. My advice is to pace yourself. Plan your top must-see exhibits and venues, then if you can, take time to breathe and see what Milan has to offer such as museums, historical villas, shops... or just enjoy a good espresso, aperitivo or meal with friends. With my love for design, pretty places and good food, I created this guide to show you my go-to places. Even if you may already cross paths with some of my favorites during Design Week, these are the places that I return to again and again at any time.”

Format: Digital travel guide (20 places, 63 pages). You’ll receive a link to download the PDF file, optimized for mobile.

What to expect: rather than an exhaustive directory, this guide offers select points of interest and venues that have been carefully curated by Christine, a photographer based in Milan. It includes:
