In the afternoon we suggest you visit Corso Buenos Aires, the city’s largest shopping street, home to almost all the famous Italian boutiques which, thanks to the sales, have one more reason to tempt you into buying some of their products!

In the afternoon, embrace Milan’s modern side in the CityLife district, where impressive architectural marvels such as the Isozaki Tower and the Allianz Tower dominate the skyline. Enjoy some leisurely shopping or relaxation in the CityLife Shopping District before dining at a modern, elegant Italian restaurant. End your day with a visit to the fashionable Brera district, known for its lively nightlife and charming streets.
