La Rinascente

The centrepiece of Milan is also the largest church in Italy, crowned by a gold-coated statue of the Madonna.

At this central square browse luxury Italian goods in one of the oldest shopping centres in the world or visit the largest church in Italy.

This beautiful old arcade houses some of the biggest names in fashion, such as Prada and Gucci, alongside traditional restaurants and hole-in-the-wall cafés.

Gaze up at the city hall and the world-renowned theater from the green island at the core of this plaza, which pays tribute to Leonardo da Vinci.

One of Milan’s newest art galleries displays Italian 19th and 20th century art across three adjoining mansions, including a former bank that’s been ingeniously adapted.

See opera, ballet or classical music performed on one of the most famous stages in the world at this theatre and museum.
