With a local host as your personal party planner, you can settle in for a stress-free day that’s fun every one. Kids (and parents!) could be hypnotized by Nano Bleu, an old-fashioned toy store straight from the pages of a storybook that happens to be right next to the iconic Duomo di Milano cathedral.

While older kids will have a fantastic time trawling the stylish streets of Brera with other super-cool locals moving between galleries, boutiques, and aperitivo bars.

When tummies start rumbling, you can’t go wrong with pizza, panzerotti, and pastries from a pasticceria (bakery) – but you could also pack a picnic basket and hit one of the city's picturesque parks (Sempione is right by Sforza Castle, so you can sneak in some sightseeing too.)
