Things to do in Milan

  • Taylor loves cooking and baking, so she would definitely enjoy a pasta making class in Milan! We highly recommend Le Cesarine, where local nonnas can teach you secret Italian pasta recipes.

  • One of Taylor’s hobbies is painting, so you could definitely catch her participating in a Paint and Sip workshop in Milan!

  • Taylor loves acting and enjoys performances, so she would definitely enjoy the famous theater Teatro alla Scala in Milan.

  • Taylor Swift loves to shop for antiques, so she would definitely enjoy a vintage tour of Milan.

  • Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is a celebration of Made-in-Italy fashion, with many of her outfits being made by Italian designers. You can find many pieces like Taylor’s just shopping anywhere in Milan, such as the Via Montenapoleone area.

  • Taylor also loves art, so we think she would love Fondazione Prada, a creative space founded by Miuccia Prada, hosting modern art exhibitions.

Day Trips:

  • Taylor loves a good glass of wine. If she were to venture beyond Milan into the charming countryside of Lombardy, she might find herself drawn to the picturesque region of Franciacorta, renowned for its exquisite wines and bucolic landscapes. Al Rocol is one of the esteemed wineries nestled in this idyllic locale, offering a quintessential Italian experience that blends tradition with modernity. Immerse yourself in the artistry of winemaking with a guided tour of Al Rocol’s vineyards and cellars. Learn about the unique terroir of Franciacorta and the meticulous techniques employed to craft their world-class sparkling wines.

  • Taylor has called herself a "hopeless romantic". She would very much enjoy a visit to the enchanting Villa Sola Cabiati on the shores of Lake Como. This historic residence embodies timeless elegance and opulence, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of a bygone era. Nestled on the serene shores of Lake Como, Villa Sola Cabiati is a magnificent estate steeped in history and surrounded by lush gardens. Situated near the charming village of Tremezzo, the villa offers breathtaking views of the sparkling waters and majestic mountains that frame the lake.

Places to eat & drink in Milan

  • Taylor loves cats and has some of her own, so she would enjoy the Crazy Cat Cafe.

  • For anyone with a sweet tooth, including Taylor, Marchesi 1824 is a must-visit. Homemade Italian cakes and pastries in such an elegant setting.

  • It is known that Taylor loves reading books and enjoys a cup of coffee. We highly recommend Gogol and Company – a bookshop, café and exhibition space.

  • Taylor said in an interview that she loves chicken tenders. Tender veal cutlets coated in crunchy breadcrumbs fried in butter, Cotoletta alla Milanese is one of the signature dishes of Milan that she would love. Try the one at Trattoria del Nuovo Macello at 20 via Cesare Lombroso, managed by the same Milanese family since 1959.
