The lively, diverse quarter east of the centre — the long Corso Buenos Aires shopping street, grand liberty-style villas, a leafy park and a buzzing, multicultural food scene. Central, well-connected and better value than the Duomo, with a real everyday-Milan feel; a solid, handy base.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 8.The Quadrilatero della Moda — The golden rectangle of fashion — Via Montenapoleone and its neighbours, home to the flagship stores of every great Italian and global label, in the fashion capital of the world. Even if you're only window-shopping, the boutiques, the beautiful people and the sheer glamour are a spectacle in themselves.
- 14.Corso Buenos Aires — One of Europe's longest shopping streets — a kilometre and a half of high-street and mid-range stores, far more affordable than the designer Quadrilatero, always thronged. The everyday shopping heart of Milan; the surrounding Porta Venezia is also the city's most diverse, lively food quarter.
