Corso Como is often mentioned when people talk about Milan’s movida. This street, which became pedestrian, has gained this reputation for being very lively from the aperitif time until late at night.
Corso Como is considered one of the Milan’s symbols and is full of fashion boutiques and concept stores. A walk in Corso Como allows you to discover a new Milan shopping area, away from the large streets such as Via Torino and Corso Buenos Aires, which, especially during the weekend, are often too crowded.
Follow this useful itinerary to discover Corso Como and enjoy your stay in the Fashion Capital.
