Each Milan district has its own rhythm. Pick by what you want to experience:
- History and luxury shopping: Centro Storico with the Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and La Scala; the Quadrilatero della Moda (fashion quadrilateral) for designer brands and jewellers.
- Art: bohemian Brera, with galleries, antique shops, cafés and the Pinacoteca di Brera.
- Food and nightlife: Navigli, whose canals are linked to Leonardo da Vinci's designs and fill up with bars and restaurants in the evening; Ticinese, with old city gates, vintage shops and a young crowd.
- Modern Milan: Porta Nuova with its skyscrapers, the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) and Piazza Gae Aulenti; CityLife, with futuristic architecture, green space and a large mall.
- Multicultural: Porta Venezia, with Liberty-style architecture, the Public Gardens and the Planetario di Milano; and lively Chinatown. Porta Romana blends old and new, with thermal baths and local eateries.
