MILAN: SHOPPING IN THE ITALIAN FASHION CAPITAL
In Milan, fashion means not only shopping but also culture. Armani Silos, located at via Bergognone 40, hosts a huge exhibition of dresses that inspired the famous Italian stylist Giorgio Armani from 1980 up to now. Fondazione Prada, located in Largo Isarco, 2 in a former distillery, hosts important temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists in a scenic space of over 11000 square meters.
At the end of the day, when your shopping is over it could be a good idea to take a walk along Navigli, two water canals located on the southern side of the town and surrounded by old, picturesque houses and where there is a pulsing, lively nightlife every day of the week. Choose one of the many restaurants there and enjoy the "happy hour", a special formula to eat as much as you wish for only some Euros. Naturally, this food is mostly trash food and snacks, but they often offer also cheese, ham, and sausages.
If you do not like snacks and think that the idea of "happy hour" sounds simply appalling, do not worry! Milan is packed with any sort of restaurants of any quality, and in addition, here all the cuisines of the world are represented.
Cosmopolitan and curious, Milan's inhabitants love exploring new tastes and exotic dishes, to the point that "Sushi" has become their most popular dish! This is probably the reason why the local cuisine is now neglected. However, if you wish to taste it, Rise with saffron, cutlets breaded and fried, "Ossobuco" (sliced veal shank), mixed boiled meat, and "casseula" (cabbages and pork) are the best-known dishes.
