To make the most of your shopping time in the city, please find our guide on the top commercial areas in Milan below.
This picturesque piazza features the Duomo (Milan Cathedral), the Royal Palace of Milan, a monument to King Victor Emmanuel II (the first modern king of a united Italy), and the glorious Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy’s oldest still-active shopping mall.
Established in 1877, this stunning, four-story arcade is chock-full with luxury, haute couture stores to nose around. The buildings’ classic architecture, which features towering stone archways and a gorgeous glass ceiling, is enough to make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a perfume ad, or even a photoshoot for Vogue!
The sides of the square are formed by Via Montenapoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga, and Corso Venezia, all of which offer an amazing range of shopping opportunities!
