Shopping in Milan – A quick guide

The most important city of northern Italy, capital of the province and of the Lombard region, Milan stands at the center of the Padana Plain between the pre-Alps and the Po, and between the Adda and the Ticino rivers. A financial and economic capital as well as major political and cultural center, it is the second most populous city in Italy, with 1,371,000 inhabitants.

Milan is a hub of European industry, with its concentration of major Italian companies. It holds the lead in volume of commercial activity. With its favorable geographic location, Milan is a communications center of great importance. Extending out from the city are train lines and national and international highways. But Milan is not just economics it is also fashion.

In Milan the latest and greatest fashion is available, sometimes a year, ahead of the other major Italian cities and as much as two years ahead of the provinces. The world has become much smaller since the advent of widespread air travel fashion moves around the world much faster but, if you are in Italy and you love to dress well, a stop in Milan is a must. You can get your fix at some of the more famous designer shops.
