Timeline

  1. 16:35

    Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

    Grab a quick espresso or coffee to go. The Galleria is a short walk from the gallery, and the glass roof is stunning in the late afternoon light.

  2. 17:05

    Brera Art Gallery

    Be outside the Brera Art Gallery or on the immediate terrace when the sun dips. The building’s facade catches the final golden glow before the sky turns blue.

  3. 17:50

    Al Matarel

    Walk nine minutes to Al Matarel for dinner. Order the ossobuco con risotto, a classic Paduan dish that fits the cozy evening mood.

  4. 19:05

    Bar Jamaica

    End the night with a drink at Bar Jamaica. It is just one minute from the gallery, a small and artsy spot in the heart of the bohemian Brera district.
