It’s pure joy to eat your way through a five-course menu on a historic tram rumbling around Milan.

Time Out says

What’s the vibe?

Train travel is romanticised, but rightly so. There’s something about watching the world go by from a train window. The transportation authority in Milan has capitalised on this idea, turning two of the city’s historic trams into restaurants on wheels that offer lunch (only on Sundays) and dinner runs.

What should I order?

The food is nothing to write home about, but crisscrossing the city gives you a glimpse of all of Milan’s greatest hits and where they’re located. Plus, the tram’s historic interiors, like its glass lanterns and upholstered benches, transport you back in time.

What are the prices like?

Dinner on the tram costs €90, while the Sunday lunch is a little less expensive at €75. Ultimately, you are paying for the experience as opposed to the food, and whether or not this is too pricey will depend on how much you want to eat on a historic tram. That’s all this comes down to.

Time Out tip

Since you won’t be able to stretch your legs during dinner, take a walk around Castello Sforzesco and Park Siempre for a bit of exercise and to watch the sun go down before boarding the tram.
