We all know that Milan is Italy’s fashion capital, so it’s only natural that you do some shopping of your own while you’re here, right?

You’ll join one of our local Milan hosts to discover where the Italians get their fashionable credentials from, all you need to do is let us know if your style is more luxury designer stores and flagship Italian fashion houses, or open-air markets and generations-old family businesses.

You could visit the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the oldest shopping mall in Italy and, if you haven’t gotten enough of the designer brands at the Galleria, you could head on over to Quadrilatero d’Oro, or the Golden Rectangle - sounds luxurious, we know.

If you want to bypass the designer shops your host will show you the sights of the bohemian Brera district, which is home to Milan’s best boutiques and an open-air market where you could spend hours musing over silky pashminas and leather handbags.

You’ll find tiny stores around here where families have been hand-making leather shoes and bags for generations - practice certainly makes perfect! The only problem is, your experience will be like shopping with a friend, so you’ll obviously spend more than you planned to. Oops.
