Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a wonderful mix of retail therapy and culture fix. The 19th-century four-story arcade, nicknamed “il salotto di Milano” (Milan’s drawing room), is Italy’s oldest active shopping mall and was named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. Marvel at the stunning mosaics and stone windows and elaborate balconies whilst you pick up your latest Prada handbag!
