Milan’s glorious 19th-century shopping mall, though small, manages to host a little of everything. You’ll find both the pinnacle of class (Prada) and the joys of mass-market culture (a Ricordi/Feltrinelli super-store of CDs and books). For a shopping break, visit the home-grown bastion of la dolce vita that is Zucca in Galleria (Caffè Miani).

Superlative Milanese grocers since 1883, with three vast floors of meats, cheeses, vegetables, breads, wines and other delicacies. Its pricey restaurant is nearby (see Cracco-Peck).
