Brera

Get a taste for historic Milan with picturesque cloisters, a botanical garden and artisan workshops

Originally the creative centre of Brera Academy of Fine Arts, the surrounding area of Brera now has a life of its own: squares and cobbled streets are packed full of chic boutiques, endless galleries and artisan workshops. Via Fiori Chiari, Piazza del Carmine and Via Madonna will give you a good flavour for the entire area; it’s grand, chic and upscale.
