Meanwhile, in Milan...
Milan is known for being fashionable. Milan is one of the fashion capitals of the world along with London, Paris and New York. It hosts Milan fashion week twice a year. Milan is a beautiful city. It oozes style and sophistication in that effortless, just-woke-up-like-this catwalk model kind of way.
We took in the buzz of Milan from its beautiful square the Piazza del Duomo, which is Milan’s grandest square. If you are visiting Milan, this should be your starting point. From here you can view the wonderful Duomo and surrounding buildings. We visited the iconic Duomo di Milano, the world's largest—and perhaps most stunning—Gothic cathedral, Located in the centre of Milan in the Piazza del Duomo. With an Italian Gothic style, the front facade of the cathedral is truly magnificent and is crowned with countless towers, statues and decoration. Then, we walked through the glass-ceilinged arcade of the world's oldest mall, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II which is testament to Milan’s title as one of the world’s fashion capitals. This wondrous, glass-ceilinged arcade connects the piazzas of the Duomo and the Teatro alla Scala opera house, and is lined with cafes and high-end boutiques, such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada. We also visited Milan's 15th century castle and museum, Sforza Castle. Despite its name, Castello Sforzesco looks more like a fortress with a large courtyard than a castle. The complex has a library and several museums. We spent less than a day here hence we didn't get to visit all the other beautiful places here.
Milan is worth visiting for its abundance of historical, cultural, and architectural landmarks. Milan has a lot going for it and there are plenty of reasons to fall in love with it. If you’re looking for mesmerising landmarks and stunning architecture then it’s here in spades.

Really beautiful Galleria! It has a lot of luxury stores and restaurants inside! A must if you visit Milan!
On the left side of Milan Cathedral Square is the Victoria Emmanuel II Corridor, which was built between 1865 and 1877. The corridor is cross-shaped, 196 meters long, 105 meters wide, 47 meters high, with an arch-shaped roof and stained glass shed. It is one of Milan's commercial centers. The ground is a mosaic of marble. The huge arch building is magnificent and magnificent. The corridor contains exquisite gold and silver jewelry, fashion, gift shops, restaurants, cafes and bookstores. This is the leisure center for the citizens of Milan. There are resting citizens and tourists everywhere. It is very busy all the year round.
Come out of the Cathedral of Milan and cross a small road to the Vitorio Emanuele II archway. The arcade has been used for more than 130 years. Its top is covered with glass, its floor is paved with marble, and the paintings near the ceiling and mosaic patterns on the sidewalk are exquisite. No matter from which point of view, it is a whole and a fine work of art. Milan is the fashion capital of the world. It is the synonym of fashion itself, and Emanuele II arcade is the fashion heart of Milan. There are four floors in the arcade, including Prada, LV, Louis Vuitton and many other top luxury fashion stores. There are also many cafes, restaurants, bookstores and hamburger shops. This is Milan's busiest shopping street. When the lights come on, it is especially busy, so it is also called Emanuele Night Corridor. There are twelve constellations on the floor of the corridor. It is said that stepping on the important part of the Taurus pattern will bring good luck to people. So people stepped on it. Over time, the part of the Taurus was also stepped out of a deep pit. In Italy, it seems that you can always see the sign of the constellation. Walking in the corridor, there is an atmosphere of being in the ancient city. Only the colorful windows on both sides of the road remind us that here is the real fashion place. Many stores are like museums. You can chat with the shopkeeper or the clerk and hear the humor that belongs to Milan. Sorry, it doesn't matter. The owner's hobbies and stories are in the window. SHENWEI TIPS: Italian taxes are lower than those in France. If both countries are on the road, schedule shopping in Italy. Anyway, everything is the same, and the world's famous handicraft brands are from Italy. Meanwhile, if you have Milan and Florence on your itinerary, I suggest that you arrange your shopping trip in Florence. Because Florence is cheaper than Milan. So you can have a good tour in Milan, make a list of the products of Xinshui, and then go to Florence to work hard.
An architectural gem and shopping haven, where history meets luxury, offering an enchanting atmosphere
