If you like interesting beer then Lambiczoon is a slightly out-of-the-way gem. They have Cantillon ON TAP ffs, and the best burger (pork) that I've ever had
Trying to remember what we did there! Was only last year ffs
There's a nice bit (called the Naviglio) with canals and boutiques and bars and stuff if you fancy being a bit of a hipster, but if you're only there for the weekend then idk really
Milan isn't that exciting I'm afraid. Take a day trip to Lake Como, get a boat on to the lake and the fenicular to a mountain top. I think it's from Cadorna station and takes about 45 minutes.
Inter and Milan sell tickets online and offer print at home options, probably without a £1.50 charge. Let me know if you need any help purchasing.
If you want to go on top of the Duomo, try to be there early in the morning to avoid the queue. And it's not that hot. The Castello Sforzesco and the park around is good and something special is the Cimitero Maggiore.
You're probably not going to have time as there will be plenty to do in Milan, but I'd recommend a 1 hour train journey to Como on Lake Como (funnily enough) from Milan Central Rail Station.
Went there for work a few months ago. Our client is an Italian who used to live in Milan, so had some great recommendations on food. Unfortunately we were on a production schedule so didn't get to eat out as much as we'd like.
Best pasta we had: mi scusi Best pizza: pizzium
I would highly recommend having the Osso Bucco Milanese. No particular restaurant to recommend, a lot of places serve it. It's simply fantastic and the 'dish' of Milan.
Navigli canal also worth a walk down and a lot of nice restaurants and some gelato.

Word advice if you're going to San Siro in August for a game, dress for stifling heat. It gets seriously hot in the ground if it's an afternoon KO. Would recommend second tier behind the goal opposite the home curva. Good view and reasonably priced. Serie A fixtures out on Thursday, so hopefully an exciting game while you're there.

Visit the financial district. Got a great atmosphere around there and in the evening has some cracking bars. There is also a park full of bars at night.
