Milan is the capital of fashion, and there is plenty to choose from when it comes to shopping. Even those less interested in fashion (or who can’t afford the often high prices) will find exploring Via Monte Napoleone, Via della Spiga and the surrounding streets rewarding. This is where all the fashion houses have their impressive flagship stores. Armani’s department store on Via Manzoni 31 is a good example, or Gucci’s store on Via Monte Napoleone (this one covers an entire city block). Dolce & Gabbana’s impressive store on Corso Venezia is housed in the former palace of a Sicilian nobleman.

La Rinascente

La Rinascente

This is Milan’s equivalent to London’s Harrods department store, where exclusive selections of fashion items for men, women and kids are on offer. Across its eight floors you will find exclusive fashion, accessories, perfumes and toys by more than 200 brands. La Rinascente is located in the heart of Milan, just a few steps away from the Duomo.

Enoteca Cotti

Enoteca Cotti

Enoteca Cotti is a well-stocked wine shop in the artsy Brera neighbourhood with an original 1930's interior. Italy produces an impressive quantity of high quality wine, and this wine shop stocks more than 3,000 selected labels representing every region of Italy. In addition, here you can find culinary specialities crafted in the Italian tradition.

Rossi & Grassi

Rossi & Grassi

After visiting Cotti, head down to Rossi & Grassi to find the perfect accompanying snacks. Specialising in cold cuts and other delights, Rossi & Grassi is the place to buy prosciutto San Daniele and mortadella with pistachios. They also offer their own fabulous wine selection.

Peck

Peck

All culinary delights Italy has earned itself an international reputation for are on display at Peck, Milan's longstanding deli that spans three underground floors. Meats and cheeses, olives and oil, along with baked goods and sweets, are all up for sale and/or consumption at the on-site cafe.

10 Corso Como

10 Corso Como

The legendary clothing and design store is a household name in much of the world, and coming here is worth it if only to marvel at the unique creations by celebrated designer houses, all handpicked by Carla Sozzani. Right next door is an outlet shop that sells past collections with significant discounts.

Borsalino

Borsalino

The iconic Belgian rabbit felt fedoras and hats have been spotted worn by celebrities of the highest calibre, including on movie sets. Since recently, the brand has also started releasing other types of head gear - if fedoras aren't the style you'd normally go for.

Spazio Rossana Orlandi

Spazio Rossana Orlandi

This concept store feels more like a modern art gallery - some pieces rather on the extravagant side - than a place one would come to shop at, and yet Spazio Rossana Orlandi vends, rather successfully, decor items and design pieces crafted by various lesser-known artists.

CityLife Shopping District

CityLife Shopping District

Hosting various interesting events and containing over a hundred stores, restaurants and a movie theatre, CityLife is the biggest urban shopping district in Italy and definitely worth visiting. Stroll through the district and shop fashion, jewellery, cosmetics and more. Or try one of the several restaurants located in the district.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of the world's oldest shopping malls, housed within a beautiful four-story double arcade in the city centre of Milan. Here you will find all your favourite designer stores. Even if you are not after shopping, a visit to this amazing galleria is a must.

Corso Vittorio Emanuele

Corso Vittorio Emanuele

Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the street that connects Piazza Duomo and San Babila. The wide street is known as "Milan’s living room", frequently passed through by businessmen and tourists alike. It is free of traffic and contains Louis Vuitton and Prada boutiques (among others).
