Isola

Isola is a neighborhood, a little like an island, as it differs from the rest of the city. It's charm is in the hipster and bohemian vibe that it offers. The entire district is covered in graffiti by some very talented street artists. Biblioteca degli Alberi and church of Santa Maria della Fontana are key highlights.

Isola translates to ‘island’ in Italian; it is also the name of a neighbourhood in Milan. The district is also home to significant Renaissance works displayed in historical sites like the church of Santa Maria della Fontana. Modern gardens like the Biblioteca degli Alberi are also worth visiting.
The Biblioteca degli Alberi is Milan’s third-largest park, with a collection of 500 trees and 135,000 plants. The garden is beautifully designed and well maintained. The Bosco Verticale is a modern structure comprising two buildings. Each building flat has a terrace carpeted by trees and shrubs, portraying a gorgeous man-nature crossover. Nearby, the Casa della Memoria is a free-to-visit museum documenting the rise of democracy against fascism. Suppose the street art wasn’t enough for you. In that case, you could enjoy other art forms at the Fabbrica del Vapore, dedicated to music, dance, theatre, etc. Lastly, the cafes of Isola. You can enjoy a delightful cappuccino at Deus Ex Machina, which is a motorcycle store and a coffee shop. 10 Corso Como is part café, part gallery, part boutique, offering excellent coffee, high-end magazines and works of fashion and art.
