Milan, a fast-paced metropolis where creativity is big business, looking elegant, customary, and after-work drinks are an art form. One of the world’s fashion capitals, Milan offers unlimited opportunities for chic shopping. Embark upon the artsy neighbourhood of Brera for high-end leather goods and Via Monte Napoleone for exclusive boutiques. Feel like you are wandering inside a painting when visiting the enchanting mosaics and glass vaults of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
