QC Terme Milano Milan
Total relax in the city
If you are too tired of walking around, shopping or having too many aperitivos, then the place to go is Terme Milano. Honestly, I wouldn't have expected to find a place like this one in the city.
Housed in an amazing building from the 1800s (originally built as a deposit station for the horse drawn trams and later serving as a base for one of the most important dancing schools of the city), this elaborate spa is simply gorgeous!
It consists of indoor and outdoor facilities. Outdoor you will find a relaxing green area, different types of warm water whirlpools and...the world's only tram converted into a sauna.
Inside you will find a maze of water-based spa activities, saunas, steam baths, a salt room, themed relaxation rooms and a beautiful 'health buffet' room where you can sit down and grab a healthy bite and a tea before you continue indulging.
The Terme organizes various events (Aperitivo in the evenings, gourmet specials, afternoon tea, etc.).
The place is so good that if I could afford coming here every day, I would.Â
The price tag seems steep before you go but it 'feels' cheap when you leave completely relaxed and with a refreshed body and soul.Â
