Corso Vercelli

Rather than being an area as such, this is a long road that you can explore on foot ideally only up to the end of Via Marghera, as the road then continues out from the city center to the edge of the Milanese suburbs. Corso Magenta is part of Milan's traditional shopping district, with its attractive clothes and household stores, jewelers and watchmakers, shoe shops, and accessories. Corso Vercelli seems to address both younger customers and families: there are wonderful food stores, department stores, shopping malls, several bars, and bakeries. If you continue further along, past Via Belfiore, lined with appealing shop windows, you will arrive at the bustling Via Marghera, full of restaurants and ice-cream parlors as well as high-quality boutiques. In keeping with trends in the rest of the city, the quality of the merchandise on sale and the general appearance of the area are constantly improving. Credit card acceptance varies by business.
