A winter weekend in Milan. Freezing temperatures outdoors. A three-and-a-half year old bundle of energy waiting to head out on a weekend morning. Parents in deep thought.
How about the Milan Aquarium? It turned out to be a great decision on our part.
A short ride in one of our favorite modes of transport, the tram, took us to one end of Parco Sempione, where the Milan Aquariumis located.
This small aquarium, which offers free entry to all visitors, was a welcome respite from the bitter cold outside.
Weekly street market in Milan
After unpacking, shopping for essentials, recovering from a wee bit of jet lag, and settling down in our little apartment, we looked forward to a relaxed weekend in Milan.
Someone had mentioned that a street market took place on Tuesdays and Saturdays in our area. Well, I’d heard a great deal about the open-air markets in several European cities and I wondered what Saturday had in store for us.
At about 6 am, we heard voices and the sound of vehicles outside.
