But what are Neiade Tour & Events’ tours to give as gifts at Christmas?

Here are what special virtual tours on the theme of Christmas in Milan are also available with the Neiade Tour & Events Gift Card for a fantastic gift.
Christmas in Milan: meneghine Christmas traditions.
From the history of the Oh bej fair! Oh bej! up to the traditional panettone recipe, but not only that. A virtual meeting series is the right gift for those who want to know everything about the city of Milan at Christmas time: the fair.
With this on-demand virtual meeting, it will be possible to discover the traditions of Milanese Christmas: from the typical holiday foods in the Ambrosian capital to the stories of the celebration of the Three Kings in the Basilica of Sant’Eustorgio.
The itinerary, therefore, will be intertwined with art and literature: we will discover, in fact, the beautiful Portinari Chapel and Foppa’s frescoes that can be admired there.
“A Christmas Carol in Milan: a tale of Milanese generosity.”
We have already mentioned that Charles Dickens is the author of one of the most famous Christmas stories-his A Christmas Carol has often been staged on theater stages or movie sets and beyond.
This year, relive the magic of Dickens in a virtual meeting that takes its cue from the memorable pages describing greedy Ebenezer Scrooge and the three ghosts of the Past, Present and Future – played by an actor from the Milan-based theater company Fairy Tale Play Company. The key to interpretation, however, will be all Milanese, and the tale of the Neiade Tour & Events guide will be interwoven with the history of the city’s welfare institutions, from Asilo Mariuccia to Martinitt and Stelline to the Pane Quotidiano association.
Milan food and wine, on demand at Christmas.
Milan is known for being the birthplace of the exquisite panettone, the quintessential dessert of the Italian holiday season. With this virtual meeting you will discover the history, art and some food and wine-themed anecdotes featuring the city of Milan.
We will talk about the chestnut necklaces and traditions of other cities in Lombardy, such as Bergamo or Lecco, so we will also learn about the importance of the figure of Santa Lucia and the devotion to St. Nicholas, before finding out what the most typically Milanese holiday menu is.
Sick of Christmas? In addition to these virtual, streaming and on-demand encounters, with the Neiade Tour & Events Gift Card you can also give really special virtual tours such as those dedicated to the artist Leonardo da Vinci and his connection to Milan, or the many online itineraries that will lead you to discover the city’s artistic and cultural beauties and its “secret places,” collected in six different thematic packagesi ON DEMAND: three consisting of ten virtual encounters dedicated to the Milan to see, the secrets of the city and the traditions of the capital of Milan; and the other three, of five virtual encounters, dedicated to the art, architecture and history of our city.
