Milan’s most Milanese fair of the year, held around the Castello Sforzesco on the feast of Sant’Ambrogio. From the suite it’s a quarter of an hour by metro.
When: 4–8 Dec 2026
Where: around the Castello Sforzesco, Piazza Castello
From the suite: M1 red line from Lima to Cairoli, about 15 minutes
It’s the traditional fair linked to Sant’Ambrogio (St Ambrose), Milan’s patron saint (7 December). Hundreds of stalls selling antiques, crafts, sweets, roast chestnuts and mulled wine line the streets around the Castello Sforzesco. The exact dates are confirmed each year by the City of Milan.
Take the M1 red line at Lima towards Rho/Bisceglie and get off at Cairoli: you’ll be right in front of the Castello. Alternatively, get off at Duomo and take a 15-minute stroll along Via Dante.
