PORTA NUOVA
Few corners of the city speak to the new
energy in Milan more than this bustling
business district north of the historic
centre. Centred on the Piazza Gae Aulenti,
the highlight of the district is the striking
modern architecture. Look up and
admire the gleaming spiral of César Pelli’s
Unicredit tower, the highest building in
Italy, or the innovative Bosco Verticale, a
pair of “vertical forest” residential towers
sprouting mature trees.

CORSO COMO AND BRERA
From Porta Nuova, head south and you’ll
find yourself wandering down the cobbled
Corso Como. This charming pedestrian
boulevard is lined with pavement
restaurants, the perfect place for a
morning caffè corretto – espresso with a
dose of grappa. Pop in at the multi-storey
Eataly to stock up on Italian delicacies
before wandering the laid-back streets
of Brera. This is the artistic heart of the
city and home to bakeries, bookshops,
designers and fashion boutiques.
