The area
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.

First time stay in this area of Milano. Easy to walk around, plenty of shopping, bars and restaurants.
Well connected on public transportation or on foot to Duomo Milano.

This nice Door built in 1790 on project of Piermarini, it’s on the line of Spanish Walls.
Going back to the time and going towards city center, the oldest Oriental Door was on the Medieval Walls few steps from San Babila’s square

It’s a nice walking in Milan. As well, near by, there’s a park very nice. And not so far, the Monumentale Cemetery.

Porto Venezia is the historical gateways to Milan. One of several gateways.
This was easy to get to as we walked up and down the shopping street of Corso Buenos Aires several times.
The neo classical buildings are very photogenic.
The nearby public garden is worth a look as well.

On the other side of Corso Buenos Aires is this important "gate" of Milan. It is composed of 2 neoclassical buildings where the ancient gate of the city used to be. The same street is called Corso Venezia coming from southwest until the gate and Corso Buenos Aires going northeast past the gate. It seemed to me that it virtually divides the two very different neighborhoods north and south of it.

These buildings ( city gates) can be found at the end of the busy shopping street of Corso Buenos Aires. They are very impressive and are lovely at night when lit up.
They are fenced off so access is not possible .
They are situated at a very busy intersection so be careful to keep your eyes on the traffic on not on the architecture.

Entrance to the city. The buildings itself are not very attractive. It is nearly impossibel to get closer to it, as there is a very busy traffic around.

One of many old gateways to the city, quite an interesting site.
Even more since it represents a start of the famous Corso Buenos Aires, a nice shopping street.
