Galleria Vittorio Emanuele Secondo

Cultural siteMilanAbout 20 minutes

A glass-roofed arcade from the 1870s linking the cathedral to La Scala, and the ancestor of every shopping centre since. Free to walk through and expensive to sit down in. Two minutes in passing, longer if you want the mosaic floor and the bull that people spin a heel on for luck.
