The first thing that every tourist coming to Milan is obliged to see is incredible Duomo, this year it had phantasmagoric surroundings – Afrcian animals, tropical jungle and huge copy of the famous UP5 armchair.

The Victor Emmanuel II Gallery is located a little away from the Duomo and connects the cathedral square with Piazza La Scala. It was built in the 70s of the 19th century and at that time was the largest shopping gallery in Europe. Here you can find expensive boutiques and elegant cafes. The gallery is a magnificent example of 19th-century architecture.
