10 Things to do in Quadrilatero della Moda (Quad d'Oro) That You Shouldn't Miss

June 7, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

One of the world’s fashion capitals, Milan offers endless opportunities for chic shopping. Hit the artsy neighborhood of Brera for leather goods and Via Monte Napoleone for exclusive, expensive boutiques. The enchanting mosaics and glass vaults of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II make shoppers feel like they’re wandering inside a painting. Take break from your spree to gape at the iconic Duomo, then grab tickets to a performance at La Scala. Post-opera, the Navigli district pulses with late-night activity.

Bagatti Valsecchi Museum

The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum is a historic house museum that exquisitely expresses an extraordinary adventure of collecting at the end of the 19th century. The protagonists were two brothers: the Barons Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi.

Reviewed By cordyroy - Naples, United States

Beautiful palazzo filled with Renaissance furnishings. The brothers separate apartments have wonderful pieces. One of the beds is jaw dropping. The temporary exhibition of fantastical bird figures is scattered throughout. Part of the 4 houses plan in Milan for discounted admission.

Palazzo Morando

Reviewed By thomaskA1057SD - Akersberga, Sweden

One of Milanos Palazzo’s in the city centre is worth a visit. Cheep fee. And now an excellent special exhibition with nice female dresses. The palace itself contains a beautiful collection of paintings. Many very interesting paintings from the period where Italy became one nation. The palace is in authentic condition with furnitures and rooms from different eras. Please note they take a lunch pause at 1300 and open again a hour later.

Via Monte Napoleone

Considered by many to be the most exclusive shopping area in Milan and home to all the top names in fashion and design.

Reviewed By blairkk25 - New Jersey, United States

I visited Via Monte Napoleone in December 2019. I had been here before in July 2018. Via Monte Napoleone is the fashion center of Milan and perhaps the world. It is a lot of fun simply to walk here and look at the famous stores - Prada, Ferragamo, Fendi, Gucci, Armani and many more. I enjoyed walking here and taking photos of the famous stores.

Quadrilatero d'Oro

Don't venture into this legendary shopping district unless fully armed...with a fat checking account and impeccable designer duds: only the crème de la crème dare enter these hallowed boutiques, and shoppers are expected to look the part.

Reviewed By Lidija_DD - Serbia, null

Design, luxury, glamour... And four streets of it! I`d say that`s unique and worth at least a short visit, even if your budget doesn`t stretch beyond window shopping or your lifestyle differs.
