The Bicocca District is not only home to one of Italy’s most prestigious universities, but also a young, dynamic, and ever-evolving area, full of local venues, cultural spaces, and events.
A symbol of the neighborhood’s revival is the Teatro Arcimboldi, inaugurated in the late 1990s and now a key landmark in Milan’s cultural scene.
Another major contributor to the regeneration of this former industrial area is Hangar Bicocca, a contemporary art space that hosts temporary exhibitions and permanent installations by internationally renowned artists such as Anselm Kiefer.
For those seeking a bit of nature, just a short walk away is the scenic Collina dei Ciliegi, a hill created from the reused debris of the old industrial complex. Today, it’s a perfect spot for walking, relaxing, or enjoying a bike ride.
