Love to shop? Milan can cater for any of your needs, weather you love to splash the cash, or prefer the something a bit more on budget.
Designer
This is one of the most famous shopping spots in Milan. Even if you don't have the money for designer, its right next to the Duomo so it's worth a taking a wander as the interior is pretty breathtaking. Stores in this centre include Prada's flagship (est 1913), Gucci and YSL.
Metro: Duomo (Red/Yellow), to the left as you face the Duomo.
Corso Venezia
Absolutely full of Designer stores: Armani, Burberry, Vivienne Westwood and many more. Walking down this street you will see many an elegant shopper; we were shocked at the amount of glamorous elder woman we saw casually sauntering about.
Metro: Palestro (Red)
There's a lot of designer stores around the Duomo, explore for yourself!
High Street
Yes, Milan does actually cater for us normal people too! For the highest variety of high street stores, head to the Duomo. They're mixed amongst the designer so you can stare in awe at the luxurious window displays, and then carry on to something a little bit more affordable.
Metro: Duomo (Red/Yellow)
Vintage
If its vintage your after, head to the canals. Be warned: not all of this vintage is as cheap as you'd expect it to be. Imagine the amount of designer hand-me-downs in Milan: this vintage can come at a price! You may also have to take a wonder to find the best ones.
Metro: P.ta Genova (Green) - walk down Corso Colombo.
Tip: The canal is also a great place for night life from Thursdays. And don't be alarmed if there's no water in the canals!
