Shopping in Milan

Shopping

The most popular and certainly the most elegant shopping is in and around Piazza San Babila and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in the quadrilatero d'oro (the golden rectangle) made of Via Manzoni, Via Montenapoleone, Via Sant'Andrea and Via della Spiga. The streets in and around the area are dotted with the best names in fashion, from Armani to Versace to Prada and Gucci.
Another hot spot for shopping, particularly for women's fashions, is in the Brera: Via Madonnina and Via Solferino, for example.
To the southwest of Duomo, you'll find wonderful shops filled with goodies from young designers around Via Savona, Via Tortona and Via Bergognone.
Scouring outlet stores (stock houses) is a favorite activity of locals and visitors alike. Many outlet stores are located outside the city, but the bargains are worth the effort to get there.

If you're a diehard bargain hunter, plan your trip in mid January and again in early July, when the big sales begin to save as much as 70% off regular prices.


Shopping Hours

Generally the shops are open from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm.


Antique Stores

The Via Pisacane in the vicinity of the Porta Venezia is the place to go shopping for antiques. Renowned antiques dealers in this street include Fabrizio Pazienza (No. 53), Franco Solzi (No. 55) and Giglio Antichita (No. 53), who specializes in Italian furniture. Silvio Fossati Bellani (No. 40) has objects in bronze and marble, and No. 49 is a showroom for antiques dealers from all over Italy. (Red Metro 1 Porta Venezia).
