Aerogravity


Located on the outskirts of Milan, Aerogravity is the only skydiving facility in Italy. It features the second largest vertical wind tunnel in the world (eight meters tall) and is open for everyone – from children to skydivers. 

Aerogravity has mastered the art of creating unforgettable experiences that keep guests coming back - from first-time flyers to seasoned skydivers, families, and corporate teams. By merging hands-on thrills with a deep dive into aerodynamics, they’ve turned flight simulation into both an adventure and a learning journey. Guests don’t just feel the rush of soaring - they gain insight into the science behind it, making Aerogravity a standout example of how to blend high-energy entertainment with impactful education. 

Eataly Milano


Eataly stands for ‘Eat’ and ‘Italy’. This worldwide chain combines dining, shopping, and learning in a vibrant model that merges entertainment, retail, and education. Visitors can explore an authentic Italian marketplace, enjoy delicious regional dishes, and take part in engaging activities like cooking classes and workshops. The Milan venue is one of the largest food markets in Milan.

Fondazione Prada is a cultural institution in the south of Milan, part of a network of institutions across the world.
