The heart beating the luxury made in Italy
Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Versace, Prada, Armani… Here are all Italian luxury brands firmly established in Milan! The shops of these large brands are concentrated mainly in the «Quadrilatero d'Oro» (the golden quadrilateral) composed of several famous commercial arteries such as Via Montenapoleone, Via Della Spiga, Via Sant'Andrea or Via Manzoni.
But Milan is also the temple of shoe lovers: on Via Torino you can find shoes of all styles and brands!
All these beautiful items, it's so magical that junkies in shopping have trouble not having their credit card heat hot…
In order not to squander all its savings, the ideal thing is to make a shopping trip in Milan during the periods of balances that run from January to February and from July to August. A chance to control its budget!
Wonderful shopping galleries
In Milan, the windows are so beautiful and the galleries are so refined that they sometimes feel like making their shopping in the museum!
The most beautiful of all the galleries is undoubtedly the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II which is often on the postcards of Milan. As large as the London Crystal Palace or the Grand Palais des Champs-Elysées, and yet so light, this historic gallery has an impressive neo-classical glass architecture. There is a magnificent estate of fashion shops, bookshops and elegant cafés.
Between two purchases, treat yourself!
Compared to London, which is also a great destination shopping in Europe, in Milan gastronomy is a safe value, unlike fish'no chips as tasty as they are…
It is well known: in Italy we eat well!
The kitchen is based on fresh, scented and sun-filled products.
Other more: prices for restaurants are lower than in France. In Milan, for just 15 € per meal on average, you will be spoiled, for example, with a burrata melt, a traditional dish based on risotto or pasta, followed by a creamy ou or a good ice as you know so well in Italy.

Milan is a safe destination and tourists are rarely victims of flights.
But to reassure you a little more, you can go to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which always provides useful advice to travellers country by country and keeps all information about Italy and Milan up to date.
