Corso Buenos Aires is the main communication artery connecting the city center with the small business and large scale industrial district to the north of Milan. Also, it's the biggest shopping street in the city and one of the largest in the whole of Europe, comprising dozens of shops offering many different genres of merchandise, with clothes prevailing.
.:. Nowadays, however, the stores here tend to change hands frequently and the little old shops that were the traditional mainstay of local trade are disappearing, often replaced by anonymous jeans outlets. Prices, on average, are accessible, and the Corso is a great place for bargains during sales periods: after Christmas and in mid-summer the two-mile stretch of shop windows is filled with colorful price tags.
.:. Walking along the Corso, you might enter the occasional internal courtyard: e.g. Corso Buenos Aires 23 or Piazza Lima 3.
HOW TO GET THERE. Corso Buenos Aires is easily reached by the Porta Venezia, the Lima and the Loreto subway stations (all of them along the red line).
