Attractive covered shopping arcade next to the cathedral. Lots of high end shopping options, as well as both reasonable and expensive eating options. Impressive architecture all around. Well worth strolling through and stopping for food or at least gelato. Easily combined with the cathedral next door as well as the cathedral museum.

The architecture is stunning. It's incredibly impressive. You can also find most of the luxury brands inside.It's a must-see after the Duomo Cathedral. The women and men here are always so stylish and well-groomed, I ...

One of Milan’s most iconic landmarks- elegant, historic, and perfect for photos! The architecture is stunning, and the luxury shops add a special charm. Highly recommend visiting early in the morning, as it gets very crowded later in the day. For a more peaceful experience and better photos, go as soon as it opens!

For basically being a shopping mall, this place has some absolutely impeccable architecture. I’ve never seen a shopping center with age-old art painted on the walls and statues lining the walls. Not even to mention the gorgeous glass dome allowing for incredible lighting shining down onto the walkways below.
