The NH Concierge’s Tips

Shopping at Corso Buenos Aires

In contrast with Via Montenapoleone, which specialises in haute couture and luxury fashion, Corso Buenos Aires is the most popular destination in Milan for high street shopping. The best time to shop at Corso Buenos Aires is after Christmas and during summer when attractive 'sale' tags spring up all along the street. Throwaway prices for designer labels are hard to refuse as witnessed by the frenetic activity along the avenue. During Christmas, Corso Buenos Aires resembles a fairyland of sorts, as shop windows are dressed up in twinkling lights, boughs of holly and models of reindeer and Santa Claus. Step off the beaten track and into the side streets for an eclectic variety of restaurants, Turkish baths, gelato bars and shisha cafés.

Getting around the Corso

Corso Buenos Aires is a pivotal artery which connects the city centre with the business and industrial districts in the north of Milan. It's easy to locate as it runs close to the central square and the city's famous cathedral. Line 1 of the metro has three stops along Corso Buenos Aires, Porta Venezia, Piazza Lima and Piazzale Loreto.
As Corso Buenos Aires is a short walk from Milan Centrale station and the Airport bus terminal visitors often stop by for some last minute shopping and reasonably priced souvenirs on their way to the airport. Shoppers are advised to dress smartly as shop assistants tend to assess customers based on their appearance. Corso Buenos Aires is an enjoyable walking and shopping experience, don't miss it during your visit to Milan!
