Our stay began at a great B & B one block from the most beautiful outdoor shopping plaza in the world. Just a short walk from our B & B we came upon the stunning Vittorio Emanuele II magnificent shopping center of classical architecture lined with boutique restaurants and designer shops, including the 4 story Louis Vuitton glorious masterpiece. I design shopping centers and other urban design uses and none can come close to the perfection of this space. At the axis of the two colonnades is a glass dome that at Christmas time features a perfect tree and lights on the top of the dome, mesmerizing all who simply stood and stared at the lights above. This place is a cant miss on a trip to Milan with spectacular elegance.

The canal path is a lovely setting for an afternoon stroll - as I did - or you can come here after 6pm when the evenings liven up with happy hour for food and drink at the many bars and restaurants that line the paths. It's a picturesque setting with walkways both sides of the canal and various bridges on route to stop and take photos from.

Your first trip to Milan would not complete without visiting this area. The ambience in this area is amazing. It gets a little busy but what do you expect from the scenic vistas and the shops in the area. One thing I would say is watch your personal belongings as according to the Locals there are a lot of pick pockets and thieves in the area who are very clever. We had breakfast and coffee at the Gran Caffe Visconteo which was very reasonable and the staff are brilliant and every helpful
