Lively, artistic and centrally located, Brera district boast plenty of artisan shops, antique stores and discreet luxury boutiques. Locals and tourists from all over the world crowd its paved streets to absorb the unique bohémienne atmosphere of this special pocket of Milan.
The neighbourhood offers a lot of options to its visitors. You can just head there for a romantic walk or browse the many little art galleries, hidden in the backyards. And while you are there why not try an authentic homemade gelato or have your palm read by extravagant fortune-tellers?
Waiting for my afternoon snack in front of Breri Bistrot – specialized in street food from the region of Puglia in Southern Italy (all verry yummy and cheap)

Makes me want to visit!
Come ?
You have very beautiful pictures <3
Thank you, and you have very mystical nickname ?
I love this part of Milan too! I went to that museum as a treat for myself on my birthday a few years ago when I was in Milan. Really fun to explore the area. Great photos.
I visited Milan twice! Once when I visited 3 Italian lakes and second time when I attended a course for my job! So, I can say I like the city very much!
Nice photos!
Kiss, Sily
