KEY NEIGHBORHOODS
Duomo
THE VIBE
Staying in central Milan can be a smart choice, putting you within walking distance of everything. If you want to be right in the heart of the action, on intimate terms with the Gothic cathedral, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and Prada, book into The Square Milano Duomo, or treat yourself to the serene oasis of the Mandarin Oriental, moments from the Scala Theatre.

Brera
THE VIBE
Brera used to be the city’s bohemian neighborhood, and although it’s been thoroughly gentrified, this largely pedestrianized area remains one of the most picturesque parts of town, adjacent to the busy fashion center. Pop into the legendary Jamaica bar or classy cocktail joint Cinc and treat yourself to an indulgent spa experience at Palazzo Parigi or in the branded luxury of Bulgari Hotel Milano.

Navigli
THE VIBE
Naviglio Grande canal is where local families and young creatives flock to enjoy aperitivo hour while watching the sun set over the glassy water. Vintage stores, cafés, and restaurants line the canal and the side streets. Jump on a boat trip to get your bearings, and stay at the five-star Magna Pars, housed in a former perfume factory, or the simpler Art Hotel Navigli.
