To cool down in the summer heat, there's no better way than a nice swim in the pool perhaps taking a dip in the waters of the Bagni Misteriosi. It’s a public swimming pool built in the 1930s, open day and evening. Here, in the city's green heart and surrounded by the water of the lake and artificial pools, it will be much easier to endure the summer temperatures.

Visiting one of the scheduled exhibitions at Palazzo Reale or admiring the masterpieces housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera could be an interesting alternative way to spend a summer's day.
During the warmer months, choosing museums is always a good idea! Not only for the regenerating power of the air conditioning in the halls, but also to better appreciate the wonders on display: the number of visitors will be lower than during the winter period and tourists will be on holiday in seaside resorts.
Along with the museums, the city's monuments also offer many opportunities to enjoy the summer in the city. For example, the Terraces of the Duomo allow you to see Milan from above. At sunset, with a light breeze, the beautiful panorama of the city will make you forget the heat and sultriness by immersing you in wonder.

Close to Linate airport, a super-classic of the Milanese summer is the Idroscalo. Known as the 'sea of Milan', spending a day here is ideal for those who enjoy water sports such as swimming, rowing, surfing or wakeboarding. This location is also perfect for letting the kids have fun on the floats while the grown-ups of the family can indulge in some relaxation while sipping a cocktail or eating some specialities at the various eateries.

Milan's small and large green areas are a great way to spend some leisure time during the summer.
Strolling through Parco Sempione or in the City Life green zone is a good way to get some air and get fit.
The Guastalla Gardens are also a good alternative for regeneration, perhaps practising yoga, meditating or simply enjoying some leisure time reading a book or admiring the small treasures in the gardens such as the fish swimming in the 17th-century pool, the shrine with terracotta statues, the neoclassical temple or several ancient trees.

Even though the lights of the city somewhat hide them, it is true that Milan has a lot of extraordinary places to admire the stars in all their beauty and not only on the night of San Lorenzo. The Civico Planetario Ulrico Hoepli offers adults and children alike educational initiatives to discover the stars, guided observations of the sky and themed conferences to enjoy the majestic spectacle of the starry sky.
