Those who book a villa in Milan will likely already have a visit to the city’s famed cathedral on their itinerary but if you are planning on taking in this iconic landmark and architectural gem, might we suggest heading there on a summer evening this year? If so, you’ll get to experience the most magical event in Milan and the must-see attraction in Milan in 2026...

Serate d’Incanto takes place on the Duomo Terraces each Thursday from the 11th of June to the 10th of September 2026 and is a summer programme of musical events that are being held to allow guests to appreciate the building and the skyline while enjoying an elegant evening of classical music in Milan.

Many a style-lover will already have a trip to Milan on their bucket list, especially after being yet again displayed so beautifully in The Devil Wears Prada II this spring. However, there is another great reason to book a vacation rental in Milan before December 20th 2026 and that is to see one of the largest and most impressive fashion exhibitions in the world right now. 

Armani's stunning event space in the city, the Armani Silos, is currently playing host to a major exhibition of the fashion house's Haute Couture collections over the past 20 years. A true must-see, this is the most unmissable fashion exhibition in the globe right now!

For fashion lovers and fans of the first movie, the release of the Devil Wears Prada 2 this month loomed large in calendars as a major film event of the year. With a good portion of the plot taking place in Milan, one of the oldest and most celebrated fashion capitals in the world, those planning their summer stay at a villa in Lombardy or a vacation rental in Milan might want to take note of some key locations to add to their travel itinerary.

Set two decades after the original film, this sequel sees Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs return to Runway as their new features editor after every member of staff at her former newspaper is laid off. In need of a job and recently having gone viral for a speech on the continued importance of journalism in the current era, she takes the new role and must once again dive into the world of fashion and face off against Meryl Streep’s formidable Miranda Priestly. 

Fall, for us, means city breaks! It’s a great time to head to the more metropolitan capitals and destinations to make the most of fine dining and chic little restaurants during the harvest season, to sip on winter warmers as the evenings cool, and to use the milder weather to really get out and about to explore. One of those destinations that just makes sense during the autumn months is Milan. Once people begin to layer, you’ll get great style inspo and find some excellent shopping opportunities in Italy’s famous style capital but you’ll also be able to enjoy a wide range of wonderful attractions and sites, without the larger tourist crowds of summer if you head here in the fall. If you are looking for a chic spot in which to stay, then Bianca Di Savoia Terrace View is an ideal vacation rental in Milan.
