ice-skating-milan-holidaysJust like Central Park’s ice skating rink in New York, Milan proves that twirling around on ice always makes it feel more like the Holidays. It’s even more fun knowing that it’s only temporary!

For the third consecutive year, the Gae Aulenti on Ice skating rink is back in Milan, for what looks like is destined to become a holiday tradition. During the Holiday Season and beyond, the famous elevated square, located in the north-east area of the city, between Isola, Garibaldi and Porta Nuova, will be covered in white and lit up to welcome skaters.

From the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest), the Garibaldi Towers, the Lombard Regional Council building, the Galfa Tower, the Municipal Technical Services Tower, the Pirelli Skyscraper, the Solaria, Solea, Aria residential towers, a portion of the Diamond Tower, to the Unicredit Tower and the Unicredit Pavilion- they’re all here. A perfect destination to spend an alternative winter afternoon, outside the warm walls of your house or during a visit to the metropolitan city, immersed in a Christmas atmosphere.
