Would you like to know more about Italy? Are you about to go on a trip, but you don’t know where to go and what to see yet? If so, you should start with its economical city: Milan, where there are a thousand things to see and do. It is also the capital of haute couture and the place where all the big designers have their creative atelier.

In Milan you can take a stroll around a famous place favored by tourists and locals. It is the refined, elegant and famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the most touristic places in the city, right in the centre. It goes from the majestic Duomo square to the exclusive Scala square. The first thing that catches your attention is the huge Arch of Triumph that characterizes it. The construction of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele dates back to 1861, when there was a contest to re-arrange the Duomo square.

Initially, the idea was to simply connect the two squares, but the architect Giuseppe Mengoni, who is responsible for its construction, presented a different project that we can still see today. His technique was not perfect, so the first paintings didn’t last very long, and new ones were placed just a few years later. Its floor is of exceptional beauty: a mosaic of images and decorative elements of great splendor. One typical attraction is the large bull on the left of the tunnel, where millions of tourists come every year to perform the ritual of luck, a practice known by all (apparently you place one of your heels on its genitals and turn yourself around).

This gallery deserves more than one visit, not only for its beauty but also because there are many shops to discover. People call it the “Hall of Milan” due to its central position, because of all the shops and restaurants like Biffi or Savini. All of them are very classy and elegant and attract both wealthy tourists and people from high society. Inside the gallery there are ancient and prestigious bookshops such as the famous Ricordi.

If you visit Milan, you must enjoy this pleasant and relaxing stroll, to admire the details of the gallery, go shopping or just to have a drink sitting at the table of one of its bars. In the summer, many shows and concerts of all kinds are organized there. Book your vacation now!
