If you are fed up with all the historical and religious buildings in milan then visit this area of modernness. Located right opposite the porta garibaldi station this is home to the unicredit building the tallest building in milan. There are also some car showrooms and a large water feature in the centre of the piazza.

Named after an Italian architect Gae Aulenti (who is not the designer of this piazza), this pedestrian cum shopping square located in the Porta Nuova business district is the epitome of modernity in a city more well-known for its medieval architecture. The piazza’s contemporary symbol is further enhanced by the surrounding modern buildings, including IBM Studios and UniCredit Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Italy at 231 meters. The presence of the fountains at the centre of the piazza provides the perfect backdrop for citizens and tourists to shop, dine or just relax and experience the “bella vita” life to the fullest.

Modern piazza with shops and restaurants. It had a really chilled out feel to it, much more relaxed than the hustle and bustle of central Milan. The Parco Biblioteca degli Alberi is right next to the Piazza and is a great place for a picnic or just to lie in the sun/shade and relax for a bit. I highly recommend an afternoon here if you’ve had enough of galleries/churches/shopping.

I lived in Milan for 4 years but last time i visited it was more than 10 years ago. I left this area with a parking and dismissed parks and now it's incredible. It's a very modern achitecture that puts MIlan at the same level of other modern cities. It is well designed, build, it's really the image of Milan in the future as many other European Capitals.
A wonderful surprise

this area is now connected to corso como with more shops opening. The buildings at the piazza with the water feature makes it a good place to chill after shopping or simply strolling for photo op. The Replay jean store cum restaurant is here. I had a latte and croissant there. the shopping experience at Replay was very good. No hard selling. The staff let you shop at your own pace. if you required assistance, they were more than willing to help. Even the slightest query was answered. They knew their products well. The female SA also helped me put aside all things i have chosen while i had my latte while taking a break from shopping. Good job. While walking around the piazza i tried the ice cream from one of the shops selling chocolates. The Aztec flavour was amazing. highly recommended.

Beautiful example of modern architecture in Milan, with fantastic buildings and a big central fountain. Under the square there is a food court where you can go to eat and near the square there is a beautiful park. Here there is also the highest building in Italy, Unicredit tower.

We read this is a great place to view Milan skyscrapers, it sure did not disappoint. Quite a contrast to Piazza del Duomo. It was easy getting here, we took the Milan Metro and walked over from the Garibaldi train station. You can view the Bosco Verticale by walking down to the park area, not very crowded at all.
This area offers restaurants, cafes, even a quite large supermarket in the lower level. Lots of shops as well. We stayed to see the night lights. Very safe and relaxing.

The square was built in 2012 and got its name in honor of the architect Gae Aulenti. There is a fountain in the center of the square, and modern buildings and shopping centers are located around.

Came here as I was in the district of Centro Direzionale to see all the wonderful modern acrhitecture. The Piazza Gae Aulenti is a circular public square, encircled by modern glass fronted office blocks and skyscrapers. Lots of nice shops, cafes and restaurants here. The buildings are pretty too.

Dal parcheggio di famagosta quale metro prendere
Written May 3, 2019
Metro 2 da Famagosta a Garibaldi, tempo di percorso 13 minuti, tempo medio di attesa 5 minuti. Da Garibaldi percorrere circa 100 m. in direzione della torre dell’arch. Cesar Pelli, salire alla piazza Gae Aulenti con la scala mobile o con l’ascensore. Buona visita.

Hello! Is it possible to see panoramic view to the city from there?
Written October 15, 2018
No, these are all private office buildings.
There’s a viewing platform at the top of Palazzo Lombardia on Via M Gioia. that’s about 15 mins walk from here. Do check the website before going, it’s not always open to the public.

Come si raggiunge partendo dal Duomo? Se il mezzo migliore è la metro quali numeri e fermate sono consigliate?
Written January 19, 2018
Dal Duomo prendi Metro Linea 1 (M1Rossa) scendi a CADORNA ,scendi e prendi la Metro Linea 2 (M2verde)direzione Gessate e scendi a GARIBALDI e sei arrivato.
Al ritorno puoi anche andare a piedi🤪,in circa 4o minuti si arriva al Duomo,passando da Porta Garibaldi,Quartiere Brera,Teatro alla Scala,Galleria Vittorio ed infine P.zza Duomo .
P.S.consiglio di fare una capatina al Bosco Verticale (2 grattacieli i cui balconi sono ricoperti da piante 🌱,arbusti etcc) fermata metro ISOLA Metro Linea 5 (Lilla),ma consiglio di andare a piedi circa8/ 10 minuti
da P.zza Gae Aulenti .

Concordo che questa proiezione di Italia a 360 gradi è bellissima, ma il Lago Maggiore se lo sono dimenticato? Il Golfo Borromeo con le tre isole non è una meraviglia italiana? Oppure pensavano che questo lago fosse svizzero? Mi piacerebbe saperlo anche perchè io ci abito molto vicino. Grazie per la risposta. Silvio V.

Quanto dista dal duomo di Milano la distanza é percorribile a piedi
Written September 24, 2015
La distanza è di circa 2.5 km. É percorribile a piedi e si impega circa 35 minuti. Dal duomo si passa attraverso via tommaso marino, via giuseppe verdi proseguendo su via brera ( zona garibaldi), via solferino fino ad arrivare in piazza 25 aprile. Da li si prosegue per corso como ed infine si sale in piazza gae aulenti!
