For comparison \u2013 it was the only Italian district on the list, and interestingly, it ranked higher than places in Kuala Lumpur or Mumbai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that wasn\u2019t by chance. Here you\u2019ll find stunning Liberty-style architecture that\u2019s hard to look away from. It\u2019s also the capital of the LGBT+ community in Italy \u2013 with rainbow bars and the country\u2019s biggest Pride parade. A large Eritrean and Ethiopian community lives here, so you\u2019ll find authentic East African restaurants. Corso Buenos Aires, stretching all the way to Piazza Lima, is one of the longest shopping streets in Europe. And in the legendary Bar Basso, the Negroni Sbagliato \u2013 one of Italy\u2019s most famous cocktails \u2013 was invented.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds like several neighborhoods in one? Exactly. That\u2019s why it\u2019s worth exploring&#8230;  <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);border-top:2px solid #4d83af;border-right:2px solid #4d83af;border-bottom:2px solid #4d83af;border-left:2px solid #4d83af;border-top-left-radius:5px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-left-radius:5px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top:0px solid transparent;border-right:0px solid transparent;border-bottom:0px solid transparent;border-left:0px solid transparent;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{color:#222222;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-contents-title{color:#222222;font-size:16px;font-family:var( --global-body-font-family, inherit );font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;text-transform:uppercase;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{color:#222222;font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-sm, 0.9rem);line-height:1rem;font-family:Nunito;font-weight:500;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list .kb-table-of-contents__entry:hover{color:var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-content-list li{margin-bottom:10px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-content-list li .kb-table-of-contents-list-sub{margin-top:10px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:2px solid #4d83af;border-right:2px solid #4d83af;border-bottom:2px solid #4d83af;border-left:2px solid #4d83af;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{border-top:0px solid transparent;border-right:0px solid transparent;border-bottom:0px solid transparent;border-left:0px solid transparent;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:2px solid #4d83af;border-right:2px solid #4d83af;border-bottom:2px solid #4d83af;border-left:2px solid #4d83af;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id3820_6462bf-79 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{border-top:0px solid transparent;border-right:0px solid transparent;border-bottom:0px solid transparent;border-left:0px solid transparent;}}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get here (and why getting around won\u2019t be a problem)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porta Venezia sits on the <strong>red metro line M1<\/strong>.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/en\/porta-venezia\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/en\/porta-venezia\/\">Porta Venezia<\/a> gate itself consists of two neoclassical customs pavilions designed<strong> by Rodolfo Vantini in 1827\u20131828.<\/strong> They stand on <strong>Piazza Oberdan<\/strong> and look imposing \u2013 Doric columns, marble statues, and bas-reliefs depicting Milan\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name has its own story&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For centuries, the gate was called <strong>Porta Orientale<\/strong> (though not very logically, since it faces northeast). People also called it <strong>Porta Renza<\/strong> \u2013 probably a distorted form of the Roman Porta Argentea, which led to Argentiacum (today\u2019s Crescenzago). During Napoleon\u2019s time, it was renamed <strong>Porta Riconoscenza<\/strong> (\u201cGate of Gratitude\u201d). The current name, <strong>Porta Venezia,<\/strong> was given in <strong>1860<\/strong> \u2013 as a gesture of solidarity with Venice, still under Austrian rule.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fun fact:<\/strong> Renzo Tramaglino, the protagonist of Alessandro Manzoni\u2019s The Betrothed, enters Milan through this gate. Nearby stood the <strong>Lazzaretto<\/strong> \u2013 a plague hospital also described in the novel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 20th century, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the founder of Futurism, lived in this neighborhood. From his home at Corso Venezia 23, he launched the movement that turned European art upside down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flamingos, the \u201cEar,\u201d and the hidden heart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porta Venezia has its secrets. Some are absurd, others just quirky.

Where Casa Galimberti boasts ceramic women and flowers, here you\u2019ll find stark minimalism \u2013 monochrome concrete friezes and wrought-iron decorations forming organic shapes. Paradoxically, both buildings were commissioned by the same people \u2013 the Galimberti brothers, who made a fortune in construction at the start of the 20th century. Their biggest project? The demolition of the Lazzaretto \u2013 the historic plague hospital described by Manzoni in The Betrothed. Emilio Galimberti even earned the nickname \u201cBarbarossa of Porta Venezia\u201d for it.

Piero Portaluppi designed it for the Necchi sisters and Angelo Campiglio \u2013 textile industrialists who clearly had a very specific idea of the good life.

It\u2019s open to visitors from Wednesday to Sunday (10:00 AM\u20136:00 PM, \u20ac15 ticket). The interiors are so immaculate that Hollywood filmed here twice: I Am Love with Tilda Swinton and House of Gucci with Lady Gaga.

It\u2019s run by Pietro Leemann, a Swiss chef who proved that vegetarian cuisine can reach the highest level. Book in advance, because this isn\u2019t the kind of place you can just walk into spontaneously.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corso Buenos Aires \u2013 1.5 km of shopping freedom (and madness)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the longest shopping streets in Europe \u2013 <strong>1.5 kilometers<\/strong> of nonstop retail from Piazza Oberdan to Piazzale Loreto. Over <strong>350 shops<\/strong> lined up one after another. On weekends it looks like a citywide evacuation, only everyone\u2019s heading the other way \u2013 straight to the stores.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you\u2019ll find absolutely everything: international chains (Zara, H\\M, Uniqlo), Italian brands (Intimissimi, Calzedonia, OVS), local boutiques, shoe stores, perfumeries, bookstores, and drugstores. If you\u2019re looking for something specific and can\u2019t find it on Corso Buenos Aires, it probably isn\u2019t for sale anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices? From budget-friendly to mid-range \u2013 this isn\u2019t the Quadrilatero della Moda with Prada and Gucci boutiques, so your wallet will survive. You can dress from head to toe here for a few hundred euros, or spend a fortune if you really want to. Corso Buenos Aires is a democratic street \u2013 everyone comes here.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of the district, you have <strong>Corso Venezia<\/strong> \u2013 the elegant extension of Milan\u2019s luxury fashion zone. Here you\u2019ll find designer boutiques, showrooms, and high-end furniture galleries. A different price range, a different clientele, a different vibe. If Corso Buenos Aires is a crowd, Corso Venezia is a calm stroll among grand facades.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the side streets? That\u2019s where the real fun begins. Vintage shops like <strong>East Market Shop<\/strong> (carefully curated second-hand clothes, not just anything), artisan workshops like <strong>Michele Chiocciolini <\/strong>(handmade leather bags, wallets, and belts), small art galleries, and antiquarian bookshops with volumes that still remember the lira. These are the places where you can find something unique \u2013 or at least spend an hour away from the crowds.   <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96\"]{display:flex;gap:0.25em;align-items:center;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96\"] .kb-adv-heading-icon svg{width:1em;height:1em;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96\"] .kb-adv-heading-icon{color:#4d83af;font-size:16px;padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style><p class=\"kt-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading kt-adv-heading-has-icon\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading6668_ced0cf-96\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-adv-heading-icon kb-svg-icon-fe_link kb-adv-heading-icon-side-left\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71\"\/><path d=\"M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kb-adv-text-inner\">Read more about shopping here: <a href=\"https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/en\/shopping-in-milan\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"661\">Shopping in Milan<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to drink the most famous \u201cmistake\u201d in cocktail history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bar Basso<\/strong> (Via Plinio 39) is an institution. A local bar opened in 1947 by Giuseppe Basso, it was taken over in 1967 by Mirko Stocchetto \u2013 a bartender with years of experience at Harry\u2019s Bar in Venice and Hotel Posta in Cortina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here a mistake happened that <strong>changed the history of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/aperitivo-w-mediolanie\/\" title=\"aperitivo\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"187\">aperitivo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1972, Stocchetto \u2013 in a rush, with a packed bar \u2013 grabbed the wrong bottle. Instead of gin, he poured Ferrari spumante into Campari and vermouth. The customer asked what the drink was. \u201cNegroni Sbagliato\u201d (Mistaken Negroni), he replied without missing a beat. The name stuck. The cocktail went on to conquer the world.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the <strong>Negroni Sbagliato <\/strong>(Campari, vermut rosso, prosecco brut) is one of the most recognizable Italian cocktails. At Bar Basso, it\u2019s served in the legendary bicchieroni \u2013 giant glasses that Stocchetto had custom-made at a Milanese glassworks to catch people\u2019s attention. It worked.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bar looks just like it did fifty years ago: a red neon sign, retro interior, and a menu of over 100 cocktails mixed \u201cby eye\u201d \u2013 Stocchetto despised measuring tools, and his son Maurizio does too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other worthy bars

institution for those in the know. Artisan pastries that look too good to eat (but you\u2019ll eat them anyway), and one of the best cappuccinos in Milan. Come in the morning, grab a cornetto, sit by the window and watch the neighborhood wake up. Or take it to go and eat it in the park \u2013 no one will judge you.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g187849-d15557145-Reviews-Gelsomina-Milan_Lombardy.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g187849-d15557145-Reviews-Gelsomina-Milan_Lombardy.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\">Gelsomina<\/a> \u2013 a pastry shop specializing in southern sweets.

Works by Sironi, Fontana, and De Chirico hang exactly where the Boschi Di Stefano family placed them. Free admission \u2013 a rarity in Milan, so take advantage.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MEET Digital Culture Center<\/strong> (Viale Vittorio Veneto 2): A hub for digital culture, new technologies, and art. Interactive exhibitions, workshops, and installations you can actually touch. A refreshing change after spending hours among Art Nouveau buildings and 19th-century paintings.<br> <br> <br>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fondazione Luigi Rovati<\/strong> (Corso Venezia 52): Newly opened in 2022, this foundation houses a collection of Etruscan and contemporary art. In one elegant building you can see ancient vases from 2,500 years ago, Etruscan funeral urns, and works by Lucio Fontana, Picasso, and Andy Warhol. A time jump on a single ticket.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety \u2013 don\u2019t panic, but keep your eyes open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porta Venezia has a\u2026 complicated reputation. And it\u2019s only fair to say it honestly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one hand: residents and the media report problems with petty theft, muggings, and drug dealing \u2013 especially around Bastioni di Porta Venezia and Piazza Oberdan, particularly after dark. These aren\u2019t places where you want to be walking alone at three in the morning with your phone in hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand: in the residential parts of the district (like Via Rosolino Pilo or the Quadrilatero del Silenzio) it\u2019s calm and safe. Families with children, retirees out for walks, no issues at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common-sense rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:1px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 .kb-svg-icon-wrap{font-size:16px;color:#b20000;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap, .kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap a{line-height:1.5em;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items6668_15dea3-c2 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone has--font-size\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\"><style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-6668_fc99af-7e .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-6668_fc99af-7e\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_arrowRightCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"10\"\/><polyline points=\"12 16 16 12 12 8\"\/><line x1=\"8\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"16\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">After dark, avoid empty, poorly lit alleys \u2013 especially near the Bastioni.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-6668_ab572b-f4 .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-6668_ab572b-f4\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_arrowRightCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"10\"\/><polyline points=\"12 16 16 12 12 8\"\/><line x1=\"8\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"16\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Don\u2019t wave your phone or wallet around, and keep your bag close around Bastioni and Piazza Oberdan.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-6668_79f54a-30 .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-6668_79f54a-30\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_arrowRightCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"10\"\/><polyline points=\"12 16 16 12 12 8\"\/><line x1=\"8\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"16\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">In restaurants and bars (especially in the Rainbow District) you\u2019ll feel safe \u2013 lively crowds, nightlife, no worries.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The city has increased police presence and runs regular checks.

Seriously. Porta Venezia is a district meant to be explored on foot. The metro and trams will get you here, but after that, switch off Google Maps and just wander. Step into side streets, get a little lost. The best things \u2013 hidden courtyards, quirky bars, ceramic facades \u2013 you\u2019ll only find this way. You can walk Corso Buenos Aires in half an hour, but if you dive into Via Malpighi or Via Cappuccini, you could spend two hours and still keep discovering new corners.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reservations<\/strong>: For popular places (Bar Basso, Joia, Pav\u00e8 on weekends) <strong>book ahead<\/strong>. Bar Basso technically doesn\u2019t take reservations, but you can call and ask \u2013 sometimes it works. Joia is Michelin-starred, so no chance without a booking. Pav\u00e8 on weekend mornings has a line out the door \u2013 either come early or be ready to wait.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Language tip<\/strong>: Locals often just say \u201c<strong>Venezia<\/strong>\u201d instead of \u201cPorta Venezia.\u201d If you hear \u201cci vediamo a Venezia\u201d \u2013 no, you\u2019re not going to Venice, just the neighborhood. It may confuse you at first, but you\u2019ll get used to it quickly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porta Venezia is a neighborhood that packs a lot into one place. Art Nouveau architecture, food from half the world, LGBT+ bars, museums, one of Europe\u2019s longest shopping streets, and quiet corners where you can escape the city\u2019s buzz. All within a short walking distance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to spend your whole stay in Milan here. But if you\u2019re looking for a district that shows you different faces of the city \u2013 from elegant architecture to multicultural restaurants, from rainbow bars to peaceful gardens \u2013 it\u2019s worth dedicating a day or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metro M1 will get you here in just a few minutes. The rest depends on what you\u2019re in the mood to see. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porta Venezia \u2013 a neighborhood that has it all In 2020, the British Time Out ranked Porta Venezia as the 35th coolest neighborhood in the world.
