Milan is known as one of the shopping capitals of the world. Although high-end purchases can be made in any part of the city, several urban areas are also entirely given over to the business of luxury shopping. First and foremost, the Quadrilatero della Moda, set amidst four of Milan’s most expensive and prestigious shopping streets, namely via Montenapoleone, via Manzoni, via della Spiga and corso Venezia. It is here that the most important fashion designers, of international repute, offer their luxurious creations. Discover the world of fashion and glamour in this unique, magical pedestrian precinct (also featuring a number of small side streets dotted with glam boutiques). Beyond the Quad itself, shoppers can visit other districts just as golden, such as the Duomo-corso Vittorio Emanuele II-Galleria-via Dante area, Brera and Solferino, with corso Garibaldi and corso Como, or the Vercelli-Belfiore-Marghera districts.
