The guide to Expo 2015 for design lovers. Every city has its center, its suburbs, its central and satellite neighborhoods. If Expo 2015 is a city (and it is), we've now arrived downtown. Piazza Italia, the area of the Cardo that stretches from the Open Air Theatre as far as Palazzo Italia and the Tree of Life. Along the Decumanus lie the international pavilions. Along the Cardo, the top Italian attractions. As a soundtrack, Dean Martin (what else?) This neighborhood was overseen by the Expo 2015 Social Media Team. All the photos are by Beatrice Bianchetti and Anna Chiara Maggiolini.

The lunch break at the Israel Pavilion is a must experience. To reach the restaurant go along the side of the Vertical Field heading towards Palazzo Italia. Fields sprouting upwards on your left, and others (horizontal & artificial) to your right. The kitchen is open, the service is fast and impeccable, the choice varied and the value for money great: hummus, cold salads and hot dishes, falafel, artisan ice cream and biscuits… ...something to suit all tastes! The real treat is the possibility of hiring a delightful [picnic basket](http://visit.expo2015.org/en/ristorante-israele): neatly filled with delicacies and a cloth, it lets you enjoy your Israeli lunch sprawling at ease on the grass. And there, between a falafel and a mouthful of pita with hummus, you'll discover a small corner of heaven, and just for a moment you'll forget you're at Expo: an unmissable leg of your “world tour”. The fact that one of the most high-tech nations in the world has decided to focus on a [picnic format](http://www.expo2015.org/en/news/at-expo-milano-2015-there-are-fun-picnic-spots--find-out-where-below--) design service strikes us as absolutely wonderful. Congratulations! This really is the Expo 2015 spirit.
