A few steps from the Duomo, Milan looks exactly as you’d expect \u2013 traffic, crowds, big brands. But turn down one of the side streets behind La Scala, and suddenly you’re in a completely different world. The noise gives way to the sound of footsteps on cobblestones, glass storefronts of luxury boutiques transform into wooden shutters of old buildings, and the smell of exhaust is replaced by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. You’ve just arrived in Brera<\/strong> – a neighborhood that can make you fall in love with Milan all over again, or… for the very first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brera is a place where art students from the Academy head out for aperitivo<\/a> at the same bar where Ernest Hemingway had conversations with Milan’s bohemian crowd 100 years ago. Where vintage boutiques hide artists’ studios, and a 16th-century pharmacy still sells natural remedies. It’s a neighborhood of contrasts that was still a red-light district in the 1950s, but today attracts art lovers from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n
