The Corso Buenos Aires in northeastern Milan is one of the city's major shopping streets. This long avenue, connecting Piazza Oberdan to Piazzale Loreto, is loaded with great shops. This street is said to have the highest concentration of clothing stores in all Europe. The focus is on ready to wear clothing but with hundreds of shops you'll find what you are looking for, if you can manage the crowds. This is also the place to go for vast array of merchandise, from scuba-diving equipment to luggage. And don't miss the ethnic shops and restaurants. Many of the buildings are neo-classical and well worth a close look. Nearby is the Central Railway Station of Milan (Stazione Centrale), a monument of Fascist architecture. You may want to stare at the Palazzo Pirelli, formerly headquarters of the Italian tire manufacturer and now the main regional administrative building. For your convenience we have listed neighborhood hotels in approximate order of cost, starting with the least expensive. We have personally verified all hotel websites making sure that they include English-language pages.
