Brera, Milano. Italy

Within a short walk of the historic buildings near Duomo and La Scala, is the area of Brera. This part of town is the picture postcard district of Milan in my opinion, and is blessed with beautiful cobbled streets.
Brera is home to lots of Independent retailers, restaurants and businesses and simply is stunning to walk around.
It is easy to get to on foot from Duomo, Lanza Metro or the tram (which there are many of) but I would certainly recommend walking around if you can.
Walking from Moscova to Brera in the direction of the centre would be my suggestion, starting from Moscova Metro I would walk up Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi. There is lots of bars, eateries and stores along the way, but follow the street across the junction towards Brera.
The majority of the businesses are hidden down small back streets, but if you go down where the Mozzarella bar is located, your on the right path.

One of my favorite places to eat around there is the 'Rossa di Brera' Stunning traditional Italian food in a great setting and with seating in the Piazza next to the church. Located off Via Fiori Chiari.
