Shopping on Corso Buenos Aires

Corso Buenos Aires begins at Porta Venezia in the northeast of the city center and extends to the traffic junction of Piazzale Loreto. The Corso was essentially laid out in the 19th century, when Milan was largely given a modern, neoclassical face. Early on, many smaller stores and the first department stores settled in Corso Buenos Aires. With Milan’s development into a fashion metropolis, the street became primarily a shopping mile for designer fashion. Today, fortunately, you no longer have to have a bulging wallet to go shopping on Corso Buenos Aires. Because in the meantime, in addition to the exclusive boutiques, you can also find many stores of much cheaper brands here.

Eating and drinking on Corso Buenos Aires
