Porta Venezia
A bit of everything in bustling Milan
Overview
History. Culture. Food. Fashion. Porta Venezia has it all.
We guess you could say it’s a place that makes Milan, well... Milan.
Situated just beyond the city’s most central districts, Porta Venezia is a small area built around the actual Porta Venezia - one of the gates of Milan.
It is a powerful structure - and so it should be.
And that power surrounds you. The architecture reminds you of prouder times. The evenings glisten with class.
Just come see it for yourself.
What can I do here?
Start off at the sprawling Indro Montanelli Public Gardens. Whether it is at Milan’s Natural History Museum or just for a relaxing stroll, that’s where to go.
If you want to read... Palazzo Serbelloni is a fantastic palace with over 75,000 books in its library!
Then it’s time to go shopping.
Corso Venezia is part of the world-famous Quadrilatero della Moda. Expect Gucci, Prada and Chanel at eye-watering prices.
Corso Buenos Aires is also close by. It’s one of Europe’s longest shopping streets!
Come dinner time, Poporoya is a specialist Japanese restaurant, and rainbow sushi dominates the menu.
And for the vegetarians - Flower Burger is your go-to place, with a small but delicious menu.
Pavé is another top pick. It’s an exquisite sandwich and cake bar. Everyone has a sweet tooth, and Pavé sates it like nobody else.
