Where to Shop in Milan
The heart of Milan's shopping paradise is the Quadrilatero della moda, the high-class fashion district that is formed by Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga, Via Manzoni and Corso Venezia. Many well-known fashion designers have their boutiques and stores here, from Gucci and Prada to Valentino and Versace.
Lake Como is the best place to shop for silk and you find silk products at very attractive prices in numerous shops on the lake shores.
If you are on a tight budget, head to designer outlets which offer clothes on a shoestring. The biggest ones are located outside the city but you can get there comfortably by a shuttle bus.
Before you shop til you drop, don't forget to recommend these tips to your fellow fashion shoppers!
