Porta Nuova
A central shopping area in Milan
- Compras
Porta Nuova is Milan’s central business district and a fantastic area for a shopping spree. After 2 decades of urban revitalisation, the former industrial area is a vibrant zone packed with green spaces and pedestrianised walkways lined with shops, bookstores, bars, and restaurants. Stroll along the trendy Corso Como pedestrian-only street and pop into jewellery and clothing boutiques. A popular stop is 10 Corso Como, a concept store that houses a boutique, art bookstore, and gallery.
If you feel like splurging, shops along Via Castelfidardo promise original collections of designer women’s bags and clothing. And at the modern Piazza Gae Aulenti, you can browse several shops and department stores housed in shiny buildings, including Muji, Nike, and Sephora.
