The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.

I walked on via Dante several times during my visit to Milan in late December 2019 and early January 2020. Via Dante is a pedestrian street with many stores, cafes and restaurants. I just used Via Dante to walk between Castello Sforzesco and Piazza del Duomo. The weather was cold so maybe it is much better during the summer.

It was wonderful to stay on the terrace where we ate delicious spaghetti and Tagliatelli, this terrace is surrounded by several terraces. Fast and friendly service. There was a continuous passage of tourists, because this street leads to the Cathedral.

Via Dante, a large and popular shopping street that is somewhat reminiscent of the Antwerp Meir. It is really overflowing here and at some shops there are long lines of people queuing outside because only a limited number of visitors are allowed in due to the Covid pandemic.

There is a cashier a woman of Peruvian race, I got two summer pants and 2 long winter T-shirt for my daughter everything cost 11.90 as a balance price every one, but one wrote 30euros and added in the total price without telling me that that is not even a balance has a pink card written that discounted by 70%. Luckily I saw and asked if how much they cost and said it is not a balance but to be clear with that design there are other pairs that have tag equal discount prices. Okay as soon as I heard, I said I'm not taking it. Then if as I wanted to get a summer dress for me I went back to pay her then again this racist woman and her own ill-behaved, non-professional asked me a normal price and not discounted even if she knows and already seen that she has a discounted lowered price in the rosy windmill. Then if as I feel badly treated I said that I know she has a red receipt and how come you still do not put a discounted price, she does not answer but pretends that she has no sight .. but impossible because she only has a piece of price tag. Then if as there are other people in line look at it and changed the price. Without asking for an apology. In Milan there are many lei and one of them. Too bad because a brand that I love most of all. Be careful guys not all sales that sell give you the price in sales but what they want.

Last week and again this morning I walked, alone and with my wife, along this street which was once beautiful and elegant, and today appears increasingly disorderly, vulgar and even dangerous to travel due to the senseless whizzing of bikes and scooters, not only in the center of the road, but also on the sidewalks, obviously without any form of control on the part of anyone.
I don't give the minimum mark only because in this period the path is brightened, and I would say ennobled, by the (unfortunately few) images of "I was also a singer-songwriter" which portray Francesco Guccini in some moments of his life and intense artistic career.
It goes without saying that Christmas lights are prematurely present here and there (but it's better not to get distracted so as not to be run over...).

This is a street that, although lined with fine buildings, I no longer willingly travel. In fact, from last autumn to today, I have passed there a few times and never for pleasure. I have clearly expressed the reasons in my previous reviews, to which is added an increasingly marked incivility and neglect on the part of citizens and also of merchants.
The Via Dante that I remember, and which unfortunately I no longer find, was the quintessence of a discreet and elegant beauty, above all tidy and clear, with the beautiful late nineteenth-century buildings well aligned and perfectly consistent in style and size.
Today, and by now, it is a jumble of rather hideous terraces, parked vans, the incessant whizzing of daredevils on bikes or scooters, and so on and so forth. Suffice it to say that I always assiduously use the metal panels of posters or photographic exhibitions, not only for the pleasure of admiring the images, but because they are providential shields of protection from bicycles.

One of the most beautiful streets in Milan, a wide pedestrian area filled with shops and great restaurants.
Connecting Duomo part of the city with the Castelo Sforzesco.

Wide pedestrian shopping street with lots of outdoor restaurants under tents. In the afternoon most of the street is in the shade making it a pleasant walk in the summer heat. Walking this street is probably fastest way to get from Sforza to Duomo.

This is a nice pedestrian street here in Milano. Connecting the Castello Sforzesco and the Piazza Cordusio. For me the nicest walking / shopping street here in the city center. Lots of shops and Restaurants. Ok, many shops are chains, but it has a charming character and is best enjoyed when you're not in a rush (enough visitors are), so take your time.
It's a nice little stroll down to the Duomo. Be sure to stop by the excellent "Signorvino" on Via Dante 13/15 for a glass of Prosecco (or a bottle of wine).
Even though visited by many, it doesn't feel overcrowded, due to the width of the street.
