  Carnevale Ambrosiano

  10. feb – 12. mar · vanligvisKarneval

  Easter and Pasquetta

  4.–6. aprPåske og stillehelgMye folkStengninger

  Easter Sunday and Easter Monday (Pasquetta) are public holidays, and Italians use the long weekend for short breaks and day trips: trains and hotels fill, old towns and sights are busier than the weeks around, and many shops and some restaurants close on Easter Sunday. Kilde ↗

  Milano Marathon

  28. mar – 14. apr · vanligvisSportsarrangementStengningerMye folk

  A flat course through the centre and the western districts on a Sunday in early April, with a relay that puts thousands of teams on the road. The streets inside the ring close for the morning. Kilde ↗

Toppsesong — Easter and Pasquetta, Milano Marathon

• Åpning

  Lake ferries on full timetable

  1. apr – 15. okt · vanligvisSommersesongen åpner

  Como, Maggiore and Garda run the full public boat timetable from around Easter to mid-October, which is what makes the lakes a day out from Milan rather than a drive. Winter service is a skeleton. Kilde ↗

• Festival

  Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone

  21.–26. aprKunstfestivalMye folkBestill tidlig

  The furniture fair itself is out at Rho, but the Fuorisalone takes over Brera, Tortona and Isola for the week. It is the single hardest week of the year to find a bed at a sane price. Kilde ↗

  Piano City Milano

  15.–17. mai · vanligvisMusikkfestival

  A weekend in May when a few hundred free piano concerts appear in courtyards, stairwells and private gardens that are shut the rest of the year. Most need nothing but turning up. Kilde ↗

  Tiger mosquito season

  1. jun – 30. sep · vanligvisInsekter og sykdom

  The Asian tiger mosquito is established across the city and bites through the day rather than at dusk. Courtyard dinners and the canal bars are where you notice it; the drain fogging makes little difference. Kilde ↗

  Fashion Week, spring collections

  22.–28. sepKunstfestivalMye folkBestill tidlig

  The September round, and the pleasanter of the two to be in town for. Same street closures, same hotel arithmetic, better weather for standing outside a show you are not going into. Kilde ↗

  EICMA and the autumn fairs

  5.–8. nov · vanligvisStor festivalMye folk

  The motorcycle show at Rho pulls several hundred thousand people over a November week and the city's rates move with it, the way they do for the design and furniture fairs in spring. Kilde ↗

• Fare

  Po valley smog season

  15. nov – 28. feb · vanligvisVintersmog

  The valley sits under the Alps with nowhere for the air to go, so still cold weeks stack particulate up until the region bans the oldest cars. In midwinter it is the air, not the weather, that decides the day. Kilde ↗

• Festival

  Sant'Ambrogio and Oh Bej! Oh Bej!

  The patron saint's day on 7 December brings the old street market around the basilica and the opening night at La Scala, which the city treats as a civic occasion rather than a concert. Kilde ↗
