Far more desirable than the expensive designers on Via Montenapoleo, Corso Vittorio Emanuelle II is Milan's most popular shopping destination. Globally recognized brands such as H&M, Zara, and Furla offer stylish alternatives at inexpensive prices, as well as label shops like Max Mara, Moreschi, Bruno Magli and Pollini. There are luxurious boutiques and eccentric little shops that will provide hours of enjoyment. Corso Vittorio Emanuelle provides a trendy indoor atmosphere, so shopping conditions are always perfect here- rain or shine.

This shopping area inevitably attracts a lot of tourists because of the higher-end alternatives in Milan, but is still a fun, hip collection of some very smart stores. Musical beats bounce out of windows displaying international cutting-edge chic for young fashionista. Between shops are several cafes and restaurants to relax in, including Bar Zucca, which is a delicious spot to enjoy a few appetizers after a full day of shopping.
