Galeria Wiktora Emanuela II

The Galleria Victor Emmanuel II is an iconic destination in the heart of Milan, combining luxury shopping with historic architecture.

Built between 1865 and 1877, it impresses with its impressive glass dome and mosaics depicting the coats of arms of Italian cities. According to a local superstition, standing with your right foot on the genitals of a bull (part of the mosaic) and turning around three times brings good luck!

The gallery is home to boutiques of the most famous fashion brands, such as Prada and Gucci, as well as historic restaurants, including Café Biffi, in operation since 1867. Art lovers will appreciate the two museums, Leonardo3 and Milano Osservatorio.
