Next to the station you cannot fail to notice the Pirelli Skyscraper, an architectural work typical of Italian rationalism by the architect Giò Ponti, one of the most famous symbols of Milan, for almost 50 years the tallest building in the city. The Central Market of Milan was recently inaugurated in one of the side wings of the station, a 4500 m2 space on two floors, where you can sit and read, eat, connect, go shopping and take home the excellence of the artisans of the taste. Corso Buenos Aires in Milan is the street where hundreds of shops are concentrated, especially fashion ones, for all tastes and budgets. It is the real commercial artery of the Lombardy capital. It is a paradise for those who love shopping in the most famous international chains. Today, with its over 1600 meters of length full of shops, it is one of the longest shopping promenades in Europe. The Art Nouveau style meant that in the past it was a neighborhood of the Milanese upper middl(hidden)ss, while today the same buildings are occupied by one of the longest and most evocative shopping promenades in the city. Filled with a multitude of shops, bars and restaurants on both sides of the street, made up of both traditional and exotic venues. Thanks to the great availability of services, the area is very popular with people of all ages and social groups, thus making the neighborhood one of the liveliest, multi-ethnic and active in the city, as well as one of the most fashionable. Also very close to the Public Gardens, one of the most popular city parks in the city, the neighbourhood also offers a lively nightlife thanks to the trendy clubs in the side streets. In short, an apartment that offers all the comforts in a comfortable and vital area. Landmarks/Main Activities - The central station is certainly one of the most impressive and iconic buildings in Milan. Everyone goes through it, at least once! The tall structures, mosaics and monumental statues, such as the large iron and glass vaults that overlook the tracks, will give you a warm greeting both when departing and arriving. - The Pirelli skyscraper, located right in front of the central station in Piazza Duca d'Aosta, was built by Gio Ponti and inaugurated in 1960. A magnificent example of Italian rationalism and symbol of the economic miracle, it was for almost 50 years the most high point of the city, surpassed in 2010 by Palazzo Lombardia, which stands not far away, and shortly after by the Unicredit Tower (2012). - Via Sammartini, which runs parallel to the tracks, was the first gay street in the city even if the gay neighborhood never took off: now Porta Venezia is the new point of reference for the LGBT community.
