  • Well worth a visit, especially for the massive discounts (30–50%) on men’s and women’s clothing.

  • The “Giuseppe Verdi” Sym-phony Orchestra of Milan has since 1999 played in this reinvented 1930s’ cinema, which stood derelict for decades after World War II. Riccardo Chailly conducts concerts from late September to May.

  • One of half a dozen bars and gelaterie (ice-cream parlours) lining a pedestrianized stretch just north of the Pinacoteca. It was one of Milan’s first bohemian bars, given its name by a local journalist who thought it resembled the bar in Hitchcock’s Jamaica Inn .

  • Comfortable, Parisian-style café with outdoor seating, a decent food menu, tasty cocktails and Guinness on tap (see Bar Magenta, Milan).

  • A lovely corner café that’s a cross between an Irish pub and a Parisian Art Deco café, with a zinc bar, high ceilings, free newspapers and a decent list of dishes along with coffee, beer, cocktails and apéritifs.

  • Comfortable, modernish lounge with deep cushions, decent snacks and good cocktails.

  • This minimalist, down-to-business café has been around forever, best-known for a quick espresso in the morning and an aperitivo stop in the evening.

  • All the major labels for men and women, including whatever’s hot this season. No great deals, but a remarkably broad selection.

  • Large, noisy room where the youth down beers from glasses so tall and unwieldy they require wooden stands to support them.

  • A post-modern disco owned by a group of Premier League footballers. The DJs spin everything from revival pop to salsa.
