10 Corso Como

The shopping centre is now dominated by the 10 Corso Como department store, where you’ll find curated collections from international designers as well as lesser-known brands. On the first floor is a bookshop with a wide selection of books on art and design. You can access the shop via a sunny courtyard, at the far end of which is the 10 Corso Como Outlet.

The 10 Corso Como shopping centre is a popular spot where you can buy truly affordable fashion items from previous years’ collections, as well as pieces from the most expensive contemporary brands.

A street lined with restaurants

Although Corso Como, at just under 200 metres long, is not one of the world’s longest pedestrian zones, it is certainly the heart of Milan’s nightlife. Dozens of restaurants, bars and cafés are open here from the early hours of the morning – when you can enjoy an espresso and a sweet breakfast – right through to the early hours of the morning again, when the bars close. 

What’s more, Corso Como flows seamlessly into the longer Corso Garibaldi, which runs south towards the city centre and is also full of bars, restaurants and shops.

How do you get to Corso Como?

The avenue begins at one of Milan’s main transport hubs – Porta Garibaldi station, which you can reach by metro lines M2 and M5 or trams 10 and 33. The southern section, which extends along Corso Garibaldi, has the Moscova metro station, served by line M2.
