In Porta Vittoria, you have the best of Milanese life.
It used to be the grounds of a medieval city gate. Now it’s full of chic boutiques and fashion freaks. Get ready to shop!
What can I do here?
Corso XXII Marzo Avenue is popular with shoppers. It’s well-known but less central. Here, you will find plenty of brand-name shops.
Corso di Porta Vittoria is similar. Designer brands, everywhere. Michael Kors. Ralph Lauren. DKNY. Treat yourself!
Fashion just isn’t your thing? Check out the nearby Mercato Ortofrutticolo. It’s a market with fruits, vegetables, and poultry. You’ll also find colourful booths filled with flowers.
Prefer something quieter? Head to Parco Vittorio Formentano. It’s a park with a large fountain in memory of Italian mariners. It also has an area for 4-legged friends!
For an evening meal, try Nonna Maria Osteria Romana. It has home-cooked Roman meals, huge portions, and affordable prices.
Our favourite thing to do here is visit Excalibur Games. It’s a board game shop where you can meet with friends and play any game you can think of. Don’t miss it!
Freedom fact
The main gate here used to be called Porta Torsa. It was changed to honour Italy’s union in 1861. The streets and squares are named after its heroes and events. Ultimately the gate was demolished to lend prominence to the Cinque Giornate memorial which shared the plaza.
