On the left side of Milan Cathedral Square is the Victoria Emmanuel II Corridor, which was built between 1865 and 1877. The corridor is cross-shaped, 196 meters long, 105 meters wide, 47 meters high, with an arch-shaped roof and stained glass shed. It is one of Milan's commercial centers. The ground is a mosaic of marble. The huge arch building is magnificent and magnificent. The corridor contains exquisite gold and silver jewelry, fashion, gift shops, restaurants, cafes and bookstores. This is the leisure center for the citizens of Milan. There are resting citizens and tourists everywhere. It is very busy all the year round.
Come out of the Cathedral of Milan and cross a small road to the Vitorio Emanuele II archway. The arcade has been used for more than 130 years. Its top is covered with glass, its floor is paved with marble, and the paintings near the ceiling and mosaic patterns on the sidewalk are exquisite. No matter from which point of view, it is a whole and a fine work of art. Milan is the fashion capital of the world. It is the synonym of fashion itself, and Emanuele II arcade is the fashion heart of Milan. There are four floors in the arcade, including Prada, LV, Louis Vuitton and many other top luxury fashion stores. There are also many cafes, restaurants, bookstores and hamburger shops. This is Milan's busiest shopping street. When the lights come on, it is especially busy, so it is also called Emanuele Night Corridor. There are twelve constellations on the floor of the corridor. It is said that stepping on the important part of the Taurus pattern will bring good luck to people. So people stepped on it. Over time, the part of the Taurus was also stepped out of a deep pit. In Italy, it seems that you can always see the sign of the constellation. Walking in the corridor, there is an atmosphere of being in the ancient city. Only the colorful windows on both sides of the road remind us that here is the real fashion place. Many stores are like museums. You can chat with the shopkeeper or the clerk and hear the humor that belongs to Milan. Sorry, it doesn't matter. The owner's hobbies and stories are in the window. SHENWEI TIPS: Italian taxes are lower than those in France. If both countries are on the road, schedule shopping in Italy. Anyway, everything is the same, and the world's famous handicraft brands are from Italy. Meanwhile, if you have Milan and Florence on your itinerary, I suggest that you arrange your shopping trip in Florence. Because Florence is cheaper than Milan. So you can have a good tour in Milan, make a list of the products of Xinshui, and then go to Florence to work hard.
An architectural gem and shopping haven, where history meets luxury, offering an enchanting atmosphere
