The Best Outdoor Pools In Milan
Summer in Milan is tough one. Think: very hot & very humid with little to no breeze. Yes, you could of course, escape to the sea - but that will require some planning and several hours travel. Fortunately there’s a second option that doesn’t require a day trip and can satisfy your spontaneity this summer!
Hidden between the crowded Milanese streets, you can find some awesome pools, some even with bars & aperitivo to pretend you’re on vacation when you’re really not... Unfortunately not all are made equal and there’s some really bad ones as well - let us save you some time, money and surprises (the bad kind).
PRO TIPs:
Always bring your own swimming cap or be prepared to buy an expensive one at the entrance
Always buy your tickets online in advance - things get busy from June! (Direct links provided below)
#1. Bagni Misteriosi
Bagni Misteriosi is by far our favourite in Milan (you can find our staff hiding there most weekends)! Reasonably priced at around €12 per day and always super clean - enjoy a full day here by the bar or even stay around ‘till late for aperitivo and live music!

Score: 9.5/ Location: Via Carlo Botta, 18, 20135 Milano MI
#2. Ceresio 7
We mentioned this stunning place before over at The Best Rooftop Bars and with good reason! It’s a view that deserves recognition but be warned; you will have to think twice before splurging here. This is not a place to retreat every weekend!

Score: 9.4 / Location: Via Ceresio, 7, 20154 Milano MI
#3. Centro Balneare Romano
Great option for those who live in Citta Studi and want to avoid a crowd. Day tickets are all under €10 as well!

Score: 9.2 / Location: Via Andrea Maria Ampère, 20, 20131 Milano MI
#4. Centro Sportivo Lido
More sports centre than anything else but also one of the biggest pools in Milan! If you want to rotate between swimming laps and tennis - this is your place.

Score: 9.2 / Location: Piazzale Lorenzo Lotto, 15, 20148 Milano MI
#5. Centro Balneare Argelati
This pool is a bit smaller than the rest, but is a great economic alternative that deserved an honourable mention; walking distance from the city centre, and very clean!
