Formerly a quiet residential area, the lively district of Porta Romana is a gastronomic hub, with restaurants buzzing with life and tables spilling out onto the pavements in summer. Porta Romana once provided access to the city of Milan and it was here that the road leading to Rome began (hence its name). Today, it teems with students from the nearby Università Bocconi , while its friendly atmosphere attracts a fair share of families. The district offers plenty of activities, from enjoying a

sauna at QC Terme while soaking up views of the ancient Roman aqueduct to enjoying a swim at the Bagni Misteriosi (Mysterious Baths), which becomes a lovely ice-skating rink in winter. Not to be missed is the avant-garde Fondazione Prada , with a range of exhibition spaces and an excellent restaurant offering striking views of the city skyline. Porta Romana is also home to the Teatro Franco Parenti and the Cinemino , a small and hip 74-seat cinema with a warm and cosy café.
