The aperitivo in Galleria

Pay for it with Visa, accepted in every Milano neighborhood.

Visit Milano and explore its neighborhoods! Experience Milano's unique lifestyle securely with Visa.

 

Taking a stroll in the Galleria is a way of entering the heart of the city, something the Milanese feel intensely. The Galleria is Italy’s oldest shopping mall and - beautifully embellished with mosaics and caryatids around windows and balconies - it has maintained its lustre. The arcade’s luxury brand shops are juxtaposed with the classic white-tablecloth restaurants, like the chef Cracco's starred restaurant, legendary venues like the Camparino bar and the iconic Pasticceria Marchesi located next to Osservatorio Prada, a centre devoted to visual experimentation.

 

All the experiences can be paid in a fast, secure and convenient way with Visa, accepted in Galleria.

Celebrate an ancient city superstition

Start your journey in Galleria celebrating an ancient city superstition: to invoke good luck, spin your heel three times around over the mosaic with the bull’s testicles at the center of the Galleria's octagon. 

Coffee and dessert at a historic patisserie

Enjoy a coffee and pastry in the Galleria's historic patisserie, and get a new vantage point on the steel and glass arcade.

Milanese aperitivo

After peeking at the store windows of luxury brands, it's time for the aperitivo, an absolute ritual in Milano. Campari Spritz is one of the city's favorite cocktails and you can taste it to perfection only in Galleria.
