      Visiting Milan

      Milan on foot

      Via Dante

      Taking a stroll around Milan is an excellent way of getting to know some fascinating corners. It is also the only way to get acquainted with its flavor and lifestyle. It is true what they tell about the Milanese who are always in a hurry. However, even if nobody could deny Milan is a very vibrant city, its citizens have learned when to stop and enjoy a walk in the city center pedestrian areas while having an aperitif and a good chat with some good friends.

      The city center pedestrian areas.

      Castello Sforzesco

      Corso Vittorio Emanuele is a pedestrian precinct with two main cinemas, bookshops, fashion shops, and bars with open-air tables.

      Piazza San Babila – Start the pedestrian precinct, a square surrounded by post-war architecture with many fashionable shops.

      Via Della Spiga – the pedestrian street where the great stylists have their showrooms

      Brera is one of the most attractive areas with fine private houses, art galleries, and original shops, most famous for its bars, clubs, restaurants, and nightlife.

      Loggia dei Mercanti – via Mercanti

      Via Mercanti – pedestrian precinct with its attractive Piazzetta, the administrative and political center of Medieval Milan.

      Via Dante was created in the late 19th century to provide an evocative link between the Duomo (cathedral) and the Castle (Castello Sforzesco).

      A recommended itinerary

      Start from Piazza San Babila, easily reachable with the Metropolitana underground line 1, station San Babila. You walk into Corso Vittorio Emanuele, a fashionable street with lots of high-end shops, mainly clothing. Before the end of the Corso, turn right in via Cesare Beccaria to see the Piazzetta del Liberty, with a Liberty style palace and the Nespresso Store and Apple Store, then return to the Corso.

      The roof of the Duomo

      At the end of Corso Vittorio Emanuele, you arrive at the back of the Duomo.

      A visit to the roof of the Duomo is a must. Take the elevator in the back of the Duomo if you don’t want to grasp on an interminable stair! From the rooftop, you are in a magical world of marble and statues, several thousand statues, indeed. Go to the front of the roof and look down at Duomo square. Look also up to the Madonnina, the golden statue on top of the highest guglia; it’s the most loved symbol of Milan. During World War II, it was covered so that it would not shine in the night, attracting the allied bombers’ attention.

      The Duomo from La Rinascente Cafe

      After getting down from the roof, do not miss a visit to the cafeteria of the La Rinascente store under the porticos on your right. You find it by going up to the last floor of the store; the cafeteria has a glass wall facing Duomo’s top. The sigh site unique and the Cappuccino is worth visit visiting toon if eating it is quite expensive.

      Continuing north, you reach the main square Piazza Duomo, in front of Il Duomo. You should visit the cathedral.

      Il Duomo

      Duomo di Milano

      The Duomo, which traditionally symbolizes the city of Milan, is the most extraordinary example of Italian late Gothic art. It ranks third in dimension after the Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican in Rome and Seville’s Cathedral.
