Great place for designers specially! There's alot to see there and I find it a great place to network and find out what's hip. There are some shops, cafes and restaurants. Won't get bored if gone alone, it's interesting enough:)

This is a nice place and mainly you can find a lot of Interni signs in April which mean that there is an exhebition Inside. There is a quite well nice restaurants too, and you can sit outside.

Never get tired from walking the rooms of the Brera, and seeing the spectacular Italian paintings -- Mantegna in particular. Sadly, the painting restoration work in the center space was not being shown. And such great galleries and restaurants in the neighborhood !

Great place for a wander during the day, particularly for those with an interest in design. In the evening, many bars and restaurants are over-priced (although I'd recommend the Torre di Pisa).

Very good restaurants to dine at night time. And in the day time it is close to via solferino where you can shop very nice clothing.

If you have time don't miss it. It's a nice stroll in Milan and you can meet lots of models and famous designers. Aperitifs are affordable, dinners are fancy, but good, not in value though.

This is the area to go to enjoy the Milanese tradition of having an Aperitivo, you have a drink and the bar offers a selection of italian tapas style light bites, go the Bar Brera and lots of others in the area.

Many classic paintings from 16th to 20th century. Anyone with a modest interest in art will find the Pinotechnia of interes worth the price of admission. This is a well maintained museaum in an elegant neighborhood selling antiques and art.
