The must-see places to savor the seaside while staying in the city

Per leggere l’articolo in italiano, clicca qui.

Summer in Milan can sometimes be too hot to handle, with its humid temperatures, crowded swimming pools on the weekends, and colleagues leaving for the holidays. It’s not an ideal condition, but you can turn it into an excellent excuse to experience the city in a new way and discover new or hidden corners. The streets start to empty, the commute to work suddenly gets faster, and parking spots seem to appear everywhere, rather than cars in double rows. And although you can’t walk by the sea with your feet in the sand, a bike ride at sunset can be a pleasant and surprisingly romantic way to end the day.

But not before a nice, light dinner, accompanied by a cold glass of champagne. What better solution than a seafood menu that will make you feel like you’re in a tavern overlooking a Greek marina or exclusive restaurant on Costa Smeralda? Milan offers a wide variety of venues able to combine chic locations with the highest quality ingredients. Did you know that in Milan, you can enjoy the freshest fish in Italy?

These places aren’t urban legends. If our word isn’t enough, here’s a selection of the best seafood restaurants in Milan. Since the summer season has just begun, you’ll have time to try them all.
