This walk through the heart of Milan retraces life at the turn of the 20th century—when artists, workers, entrepreneurs, and dreamers crossed paths between the Galleria, La Scala, and Brera. A journey into the rituals, rhythms, and transformations of a city on the move, seen through the lens of its people rather than its monuments. You'll explore the everyday lives that once unfolded—and still do—in places where people gathered, imagined, and transformed the city.

From the elegance of Teatro alla Scala to the alleys of Brera, you’ll find traces of a time when cafés echoed with debate, the aperitivo became a Milanese ritual, and courtyards told stories of movement and aspiration. Emanuele, a professional photographer, helps you frame these layers, while Erica, a licensed guide, adds depth to each stop, revealing its cultural and historical background.

The experience ends with an aperitivo just as locals do—taking the time to pause, chat, and reflect on the art of living Milan-style.

This experience offers a chance to understand Milan as a city in constant motion—where change has always been part of its identity. By stepping into the everyday life of the early 1900s, you’ll grasp how that energy first took shape, and how it still pulses through the city’s streets, squares and habits today.

From the grand setting of La Scala to the Galleria and the storied cafés of Brera, this walk draws connections between past and present. It invites you to look beyond the architecture and into the lives—ordinary and extraordinary—that shaped Milan’s modern spirit, from artists and entrepreneurs to the people who filled these places day after day.

Emanuele brings a photographer’s eye to the experience, helping you notice fleeting gestures and unexpected alignments. Erica adds voices to the streets through stories of people and places that continue to define how Milan lives and moves.

Walking Tour in Milan: Explore 1900s life, rituals and café culture in Galleria, Scala and Brera.

A 1900s Milanese Kind of Life

Full guidance from Emanuele and Erica throughout the entire walk, a classic Milanese aperitivo, and a selection of photos taken by Emanuele during the experience.

You'll meet Emanuele and Erica in front of the main entrance to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

Emanuele Dello Strologo is a photographer based between Genoa and Milan. His eye has been shaped by over a decade of work in reportage, portraiture, and black-and-white photography, with past collaborations including Corbis and Getty Images. He’s always observing, camera in hand, drawn to fleeting scenes of everyday life.

Erica De Ponti is a licensed guide with over 20 years of experience and a deep love for old-time Milan. She has written essays for photographic books on the subject, teaches art history at the Università della Terza Età, and works as both an editor and press officer. Her approach blends historical insight with a sharp sense for stories worth telling.

Just across the water from Piazza San Marco lies San Giorgio Maggiore, once known as Cypress Island. Palladio’s luminous church seems to float on the lagoon, housing Tintoretto’s dramatic canvases. The bell tower rises beside it, offering views that sweep from the Basilica della Salute to the distant Lido. In the surrounding park, sculptures from a past Biennale punctuate the greenery.

Wander beyond the façade and a different rhythm unfolds. The former Benedictine monastery now hosts the cultural center Fondazione Giorgio Cini and a 17th-century library designed by Baldassare Longhena. Nearby, Le Stanze del Vetro showcases glass art. The island also features a Borges-inspired labyrinth created in 2011 to honor the writer 25 years after his death, and a woodland path leading to ten chapels by international architects.

San Giorgio Maggiore reveals another face of the lagoon—quiet, layered, and rich in meaning. A place that rewards lingering, where the sacred meets the contemporary.

This experience offers a rare blend of silence, space, and thoughtful contrasts, far from the city’s usual pace. Here, art and architecture speak in dialogue: Tintoretto’s intense altarpieces meet contemporary installations curated with care, while woodland paths and garden views create a rhythm all their own. Turner, Monet, and Sargent, captivated by its light, were among the many who tried to capture its fleeting beauty.

What makes it truly special is how the island condenses centuries of vision into one compact, walkable landscape. From Palladio’s dreamlike geometry to Borges’ literary maze, from Benedictine gardens to modern concerts in a former boatyard, every stop reveals another way Venice reimagines itself.

The island’s only permanent residents—the Benedictine monks—still care for the church, the bell tower, and a small garden. And with Lucia as your guide, an expert in art history and island life, you'll discover Venice from its most contemplative and astonishing corner.

This experience is contemplative, layered, and quietly rich. It’s not another loop of churches and museums, but a shift in rhythm that invites reflection as much as admiration. San Giorgio Maggiore pairs Palladio with Borges, Benedictine gardens with contemporary glass, and monks with Biennale sculptures. For visitors who’ve already seen the piazzas—or want to begin off-map—this is where the city turns inward.

Lucia Bondetti is the ideal guide for such a place. She combines deep knowledge of art history and cultural heritage with hands-on experience at the Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia. Her background gives her a clear, thoughtful perspective on the city’s artistic legacy. With Lucia, you’ll explore Venice through stories that reveal its many layers—past and present, famous and lesser-known—all brought to life with clarity, care, and warmth.

Morocco

This exclusive experience offers rare access to the spiritual and musical traditions of Gnawa, hosted in an atmospheric riad or a zaouia—used by Gnawa as a sacred gathering place. It begins with a guided conversation led by a Maâlem (master musician) and his ensemble, tracing Gnawa’s fusion of West African, Berber and Islamic influences. You’ll learn about the spiritual meanings behind each song—how colors are chosen to express emotion—and the symbolism of traditional instruments like guembri, qraqeb, and tbel.

The experience builds toward a live acoustic performance, showcasing hypnotic, looping rhythms and layered textures that give Gnawa its trance-like power. Each song holds a story, a color, and a mood. After the performance, you’ll share a homemade Moroccan dinner and open conversation with the musicians—a chance to ask questions and connect on a personal level in an intimate, sacred space.

This experience honors the artistry and spirituality of a deeply rooted cultural form.

This experience is a window into the living soul of Gnawa culture, offered by some of the few true practitioners still transmitting its depth and meaning. Many Gnawa performances today cater to tourists and lose the tradition’s spiritual essence. This private session reconnects you with the roots of Gnawa: music as ritual, healing, and ancestral storytelling.

You’ll engage directly with a Maâlem and his ensemble in an intimate setting rarely open to outsiders. Their music is played—and it’s explained, felt, and shared. You’ll explore the emotional resonance of each song, the stories behind the colors of the emotions, and the communal nature of Gnawa ceremonies. 

Over dinner and tea, you’ll experience firsthand the generosity and insight of musicians who keep this endangered tradition alive—not for spectacle, but for the sake of its spirituality and tradition. This is not a show—it’s a transmission of cultural memory, preserved with dignity and shared in trust.

The Maâlem—a master of Gnawa music—is dedicated to preserving the spiritual and cultural soul of this centuries-old tradition. Raised within a lineage of musicians, he learned to play the guembri and perform ceremonial rituals from a young age, absorbing the music and the healing philosophy behind it. Fluent in the symbolic language of rhythms, colors, and stories, he is one of the few remaining custodians of authentic Gnawa practice. With his ensemble, he shares music, history, spirituality, memory, and community.

A rhythm of sand, salt, and sky unfolds across three elemental days in the Atacama Desert. This journey takes you from grounded, hands-on moments to vast desert panoramas — from the intimacy of a ceramics workshop to the stillness of floating lagoons and the dazzling clarity of the high-altitude night. Designed for travelers drawn to light, texture, and time, it pairs immersive photography with meditative moments of pause. You’ll begin slowly, then ascend into the surreal landscapes of the altiplano before closing among geysers, wetlands, and warm springs.
DAY 1 – CLAY, FLOATING, AND STARS | The journey begins gently in the Salt Mountain Range, where you’ll be welcomed into the adobe studio of a local ceramic artist. Using a clay unique to the region, shaped by ancestral Licarantai traditions, you’ll create your own piece while learning how reverence for Pachamama lives on through craft. In the afternoon, take time on your own to visit nearby Laguna Cejar — a salt-rich lagoon where the water suspends you weightlessly in its mineral grip.
DAY 2 – FLAMINGOS AND THE ALTIPLANO | Wake early to head deep into the Chilean altiplano. This is a day of altitude and scale, where pastel lagoons stretch beneath volcanoes and flamingos lift off from mirror-still water. As you travel across remote salt flats and highland valleys, your guide helps shape the light into story through photography. There’s time to pause, to breathe thinner air, to notice shadow and color shift by the hour. After returning to town, the evening invites rest and reflection after a day spent far above sea level.
DAY 3 – GEYSERS AND WATERS | Before sunrise, set out north toward El Tatio, where steam rises from the earth in silence. As the first light filters across the geysers, capture the raw power of fire meeting water at 4,000 meters. Descend slowly through villages and wetlands, where llamas and flamingos move between grasses and mineral pools. The day ends in thermal springs tucked inside a desert canyon. Let your body ease back into warmth as your time in the Atacama comes to a close.
WHERE TO STAY IN SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA | Most travelers base themselves in San Pedro, a walkable adobe town that serves as the region’s gateway. For easy access to experiences, stay near the center where pickups and drop-offs are seamless. If you prefer quiet evenings, choose a boutique lodge just outside the plaza. Accommodations range from rustic guesthouses to high-end eco-hotels, many designed with local materials and open-air courtyards perfect for desert stargazing.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO ARRIVE | The desert rewards those who arrive slowly. Because much of this journey takes place at altitude, we recommend arriving in San Pedro at least one or two days before your first experience. This extra time helps you adjust to the dry air, shifting light, and elevation changes that define the Atacama. It also offers space to settle into the desert’s rhythm — walk the quiet streets, explore the artisan market, and watch the color drain from the sky in the evenings. Let the landscape meet you gradually.

Living the Pulse of Porto means tasting its traditions, stepping inside centuries-old landmarks, and letting the Douro set the rhythm of your days. In three days you’ll move from taverns filled with petiscos to valley vineyards, riverside boat decks, and cathedral steps that have anchored the city for generations. Designed for travelers who want immersion over checklists, this journey blends guided encounters with moments of quiet discovery, letting Porto’s pulse carry you.
DAY 1 – PETISCOS AND VIEWS | Begin with a guided food tour that introduces Porto through its flavors and stories. Tasting petiscos and Port wine becomes a path through the São Bento station murals, the Dom Luís I Bridge, and corners of daily life.

The day closes over dinner in the heart of Porto, where the atmosphere feels as local as the wine.
DAY 2 – DOURO HERITAGE AND CHURCHES | Leave the city for a guided day in the Douro Valley, where family-run wineries share the generations-long craft of winemaking and lunch is prepared at the table of a local vintner.

Dinner follows along the riverfront, with seafood and wine echoing the Douro’s abundance.
DAY 3 – RIVER JOURNEYS AND CATHEDRALS | The final day carries you onto the Douro with a guided boat experience that blends water, wine, and the flavors of a traditional sardine lunch. Returning to the city, step into Porto Cathedral, a landmark that has shaped the skyline and spirit of the city across centuries. Evening is left to reflection, with Porto’s rhythm accompanying the close of your journey.
WHERE TO STAY IN PORTO | Porto invites you to choose your base according to your rhythm.

This three-day journey is designed for those who want more than a snapshot, weaving together curated experiences that unfold the city’s emotional and historical heart. From grand avenues and tango classes to quiet moments of mate and cultural evenings, each day offers a full immersion into the spirit of the Argentine capital.
DAY 1 – LANDMARKS AND FIRST STEPS | Begin with a guided city tour by car through Recoleta, San Telmo, and the Historic Quarter.

DAY 3 – FLAVOR AND EXPRESSION | A guided food tour leads you through the tastes of Palermo Soho, with stops for empanadas, choripán, asado, and sweet bites along the way. The experience weaves together local flavor and neighborhood energy, perfect for a slower-paced final day. In the early evening, step inside a historic tango house in San Telmo for a unique photography experience. Lights, shadows, and movement tell their own story as you enjoy a dinner immersed in the visual world of tango.
WHERE TO STAY IN BUENOS AIRES | Base yourself in Palermo Soho for stylish boutique hotels, creative energy, and easy access to the day’s starting points.

Mexico with Open Eyes

10 days in Mexico through Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Guadalajara connecting heritage, art, and flavor.

This 7-day itinerary offers a layered introduction to Catalonia, curated by Fernwayer experience-maker and collaborator Manila DiMaira. A native of Sicily and longtime resident of Barcelona, Manila blends insight with a deep curiosity. Her suggested route balances the bold energy of the city with the slower rhythm of the countryside — from Barcelona’s cultural core to the vineyards of Priorat, the wetlands of the Ebro Delta, and the historic charm of Girona.
Begin with three days in Barcelona, where Manila recommends focusing not on checklists but on rhythm: explore historic neighborhoods, check out design ateliers, sample Catalan cuisine, and seek out the quieter corners still alive with local tradition. | Head south into the wine country of Priorat, a lesser-known region with rolling hills and medieval villages. Stay in Siurana, a cliffside hamlet with sweeping views and access to local winemakers. | Continue to the Ebro Delta, one of Spain’s richest ecological regions. Here, you can bike through rice paddies, watch migratory birds, and experience a side of Catalonia rarely included in mainstream itineraries. | End in Girona, a city of ancient walls, celebrated chefs, and architectural quiet. It offers a slower, more introspective contrast to the pulse of Barcelona.
This itinerary reflects what Manila calls the “true essence of Catalonia” — a place of cultural pride, natural beauty, and distinct local identity. Manila first arrived in Barcelona more than two decades ago, while finishing her studies in Rome. She needed an internship for her thesis and chose Barcelona without expecting how quickly she’d feel at home.“Barcelona, 22 years ago, was a different place,” she says. “It was less cosmopolitan, more local. I remember wandering through narrow streets and finding tiny bars with real flamenco. It felt genuinely lived in.”
 “Tourism has definitely changed things,” she admits. “Places like La Rambla are overcrowded. Many locals have been pushed out by the rise in tourist rentals. But Catalans are proud of their traditions. They’ve started resisting these changes to preserve the city’s character.” That character is what Manila has grown to love. “I chose Barcelona because I felt an immediate connection. The Mediterranean lifestyle, the weather, the proximity to mountains and sea — it feels like home but also stretches me outside my comfort zone.” She relishes the contrast to her native Sicily. “I can take a train and be skiing in the Pyrenees in just over an hour. Where else do you get that?”
What keeps her in Barcelona is the balance of tradition and openness. “The cuisine, the olive groves, the vineyards — they remind me of southern Italy, but they’re uniquely Catalan.” And the city’s connectivity has made it easy to stay rooted while maintaining close ties to Italy. She speaks with admiration about the people: “Catalans are proud, resilient, and united. They have a strong sense of identity and community. Whether through demonstrations or cultural festivals, they come together. They’re efficient and organized, but also keep that relaxed Mediterranean vibe. It’s a unique combination.”

Catalonia: Barcelona & Beyond

7-day itinerary in Catalonia through Barcelona, Priorat, Siurana, Ebro Delta, Girona, and Cadaqués.

Seville in Shadow and Light is a five-day journey into the city’s most enduring expressions of faith, artistry, and tradition. From the soaring vaults of its Gothic cathedral and the archives that shaped an empire to Andalusian crafts, flamenco’s living pulse, and the quiet elegance of noble palaces, each day moves deeper into Seville’s character. Guided tours and workshops are paired with flexible explorations, inviting travelers to experience the city not as a checklist but as a rhythm of devotion, creativity, and daily life.
DAY 1 – ARCHIVES AND CATHEDRALS | Begin with a guided tour of Andalusia’s sacred crafts, where devotion and artistry meet in unexpected forms. In the afternoon, visit the General Archive of the Indies before stepping into Seville Cathedral. End the day climbing the Giralda tower at your own pace for sweeping views across the city.
DAY 2 – MUSEUMS AND DANCE | Spend the morning at the Museum of Popular Arts, a Neo-Mudéjar pavilion in Maria Luisa Park that preserves Andalusian traditions in costume, craft, and design. Later, join a Sevillanas class with a dancer who introduces the rhythms and gestures of this joyful tradition.
DAY 3 – ART AND FLAMENCO STYLE | Start the day at the Museo de Bellas Artes, where Spain’s second most important art collection unfolds from Murillo to Zurbarán. In the afternoon, take part in a flamenco styling workshop in Triana, as a designer reveals how fabric, form, and movement shape this iconic art.
DAY 4 – PALACES AND ALCÁZAR | Begin with a walk through Seville’s noble residences, from the courtyards of Casa Pilatos to the halls of Palacio de las Dueñas, once home to the Duchess of Alba. After a pause, join a guided after-hours visit to the Alcázar, entering its gardens and chambers once the crowds have gone.
DAY 5 – BULLS, TRIANA, AND THE RIVER | Travel into the countryside on a day trip to a historic ranch that preserves the heritage of the toro bravo, with insights into Spain’s most emblematic animal. Back in the city, spend the afternoon wandering the streets of Triana before continuing along the Guadalquivir promenade.
WHERE TO STAY IN SEVILLE | Seville’s historic center, around the Cathedral and Santa Cruz, is ideal for travelers who want to be immersed in monuments, gardens, and winding alleys. Triana, across the river, offers a more local rhythm, with tapas bars, flamenco studios, and a neighborhood feel. Both areas are walkable and well connected, letting you choose between the intimacy of the old city and the vibrancy of daily life.

Mexico City Roots and Stories

3 days in Mexico City reveal murals, Frida and Diego, Teotihuacan, and food tours across the city.

Rovinj invites slowness. It’s a town best explored on fork or glass in hand, with time to stop—often. This three-day itinerary offers a thoughtful pace through its stone-lined alleys, seaside kitchens, and sun-drenched vineyards, where each experience feels close to the land, and closer still to the people who live by it.

Your journey begins in Rovinj’s Old Town, a maze of worn steps and cascading homes perched above the Adriatic. Mornings are for wandering the harbor and watching the rhythms of the fishing boats; midday leads you to the local market, where seasonal produce and handmade cheeses speak to Istria’s generous soil. In the afternoon, a boat ride through Lim Fjord adds contrast—quiet water, steep cliffs, and stillness that settles in.

Day two is dedicated to flavor and touch. “A Kitchen Among Olive Trees” is more than a cooking class—it’s a full-sensory dive into Istrian culinary culture, hosted by locals with deep knowledge of land, oil, and tradition. The afternoon brings you to St. Euphemia Church, where a climb to the bell tower reveals sweeping views of sea, rooftops, and sky—a quiet reward before another intimate dinner.

The final day pulls you inland. A full-day wine experience takes you to Rovinj’s vineyards, where crisp whites and deep reds are poured beside vineyard paths and old cellars. It’s a generous and slow-moving day, designed for both learning and tasting. You’ll close with one last look at the fjord, a soft light setting over the water as you reflect on days well spent.

This is an invitation to pause, cook, sip, and look closely. Rovinj rewards travelers who resist the rush.

Slow Days in Rovinj

3-day itinerary in Rovinj exploring coastal streets, Istrian cuisine, olive groves, and local wines.

Naples may demand a lifetime to understand, but even in one day, it can leave a lasting mark. This journey was designed for travelers short on time yet eager to feel the city’s pulse — its contradictions, its stories, and its spirit of creation. Beneath the chaotic rhythm lies a place of beauty and resilience, where history is never past and craft remains a living language. From the depths of its underground world to the sunlit studios along the coast, this day reveals Naples as a city that continues to shape — and be shaped by — its people.
DAY 1 – UNDERGROUND AND HANDMADE | The day begins with The Belly of Naples, a guided exploration beneath the city’s streets with Michele Carneglia. Walking through ancient tunnels and aqueducts, you uncover the hidden layers that support the life above. After lunch, travel along the coast to Vietri sul Mare for Shaping Love with Clay, a hands-on pottery workshop with Elvira Peduto. In a single afternoon, Naples shifts from stone to softness — from history preserved to art created — offering a full-circle glimpse of its creative soul.
WHERE TO STAY IN NAPLES | Stay in Centro Storico to start close to the morning tour, or in Chiaia for an easy coastal route toward Vietri in the afternoon. Both offer quick returns and a sense of the city’s rhythm.

One Day in Naples

Fernwayer’s perfect one day in Naples uncovers Naples underground tour and Amalfi ceramics.

This 3-day Santorini itinerary invites you to experience the island slowly, through light, taste and texture. From quiet swims along the Aegean coast to hands-on Greek cooking, artisan visits, winery tours and a sunset boat trip, each day is crafted for travelers who value intention over itinerary. You’ll move between volcanic landscapes and village kitchens, caldera views and underground wine cellars, with time to pause, savor and connect. It’s a journey rooted in the senses — perfect for those drawn to authenticity, beauty and the quiet charm of the Cyclades.

DAY 1 – MONOLITHOS TO MEGALOCHORI | The first morning begins on the island’s eastern coast, where Monolithos Beach offers a quiet start beside calm waters and soft black sand. It’s a gentle stretch of coast, ideal for slowing down after arrival. By late morning, you’ll head inland to the village of Megalochori for a guided cooking class held in a cave kitchen. The afternoon unfolds in rhythm with local flavors, stories, and shared plates, all crafted by hand. As the sun fades, the caldera becomes the backdrop to a peaceful evening along the island’s edge.

DAY 2 – VLYCHADA TO THE CALDERA | Morning light casts long shadows over the sculpted cliffs of Vlychada Beach, a place known for its otherworldly rock formations and stillness. After time by the water, the late morning brings a quiet brunch with sea views before the guided experience begins. The rest of the day is a curated passage through Santorini’s villages and outlooks, led by a local expert who knows how to read the island’s moods. It all culminates on the water, with a private sunset cruise along the caldera where cliffs glow gold and the sea softens to silence.

DAY 3 – EXO GONIA TO MESARIA | The final day begins in Exo Gonia with a creative experience that blends art and landscape. You’ll visit local studios and a volcanic winery, meeting artists and winemakers whose work is rooted in the geology and stories of the island. A hands-on creative session invites you to slow down and make something of your own before the journey continues. In the late afternoon, a visit to the Santorini Wine Museum leads you underground into the history of vine-growing on this volcanic land. A quiet close to a day shaped by color and craft.

WHERE TO STAY IN SANTORINI | Fira is a convenient and dynamic base, with easy access to transport, guided experiences, and caldera views. For travelers seeking a quieter rhythm, Imerovigli offers serenity just above the sea, while Pyrgos and Exo Gonia provide a slower village atmosphere closer to the creative heart of the itinerary. Choose your stay based on how much you’d like to move — and how much you’d like to stay still.
