There are a lot of people, so I recommend that you come at 8 a.m. for a photo. Tables in restaurants also need to be booked. There are even a couple of popular hotels inside. The place is iconic for Milan.
An excellent place.I really love this gallery.I always stay nearby.There are many different boutiques, shops, cafes, located in the not mediocre proximity to the Duomo Square.Very beautiful in the evening.There is a Gallery Vik hotel nearby with beautiful pictures in the rooms.Not an ordinary hotel, and according to the interior In the gallery, the famous Apperole bar is located on the second floor.Next to the Duomo, there are just a lot of different shops and cafes for every taste.
Who are those who write about shopping in the Victor Emmanuel Gallery?) Russians with petrodollars?) I think we need to be more realistic. Do not consider it as a place for shopping at all, unless you have your own "candle factory", which Father Fyodor dreamed of in "Twelve Chairs" or you do not want to fulfill an old dream: take and bang all the accumulated backbreaking work on a Prada dress or a Louis Vuitton handbag. This place is an architectural monument, so you can and should walk, look at, and drink the indispensable aperol. It is better to come in the morning for inspection, while there are few people.
Sooner or later, in Milan, all tourists come here. Someone starts their acquaintance with the city from here, someone stops here to rest with a bunch of branded packages after a mandatory program of shopping, and someone just comes in the evening to drink good wine or coffee. I can't call this place fantastic or incomparable. It's just a beautiful and pleasant spot in the city. Here everyone will see what will catch their eye - architecture, murals on the walls, European chic, youth spirit, branded (very expensive) shops, and most importantly the feeling. I've been there a few times. Invariably, the mood lifted.
This is the main place for all fashionistas and for all tourists! Stylish, beautiful, large-scale, atmospheric! Personal advice - buy delicious ice cream in the form of a rose in a cone at the entrance to the Gallery from the Duomo 🍦

Very beautiful. This is the main advantage. It is almost always very crowded. This is the main disadvantage. A lot of pretentious boutiques, which is also a minus for me.
It is very atmospheric, you can walk through this gallery from the Duomo to the Opera La Scala. There is also shopping and a cafe. You need to be especially careful because the famous pickpockets of Milan are especially nimble and active here.
It's impressive, pompous, and there are flashy expensive shops inside. But at the same time it is airy and beautiful. Incredible mosaic on the floor, glass in the sky - you feel yourself inside a huge kaleidoscope
The place is magical. There are many people of different nationalities. But it's kind of festive. Everyone is smiling. Taking pictures. They are being stocked up.
You can watch it once - a trip to a boutique flea market for impressions. Milan Cathedral is nearby.

I put 0 stars for the Gallery restaurant, the service is strong 3 stars, the interior is 4, and oysters are minus 10!!! 18 hours of terrible intoxication and poisoning, my husband has the same situation after pasta, but not as terrible as mine. Noted shopping and brightened up the flight is called
A place for those who do not know where and how to spend extra money. We would go to La Scala, or something. For variety. She's around the corner, about 30 meters away. Instead of shops and the opera, we could only stamp our foot loudly in the center of the gallery and listen to the echoing sound).
P.S. Knowledgeable people said that the glass dome of the roof had not been repaired for a long time, so stomp carefully).
A grandiose structure, from the Duomo through you get to La Scala and the DaVinci Museum. The floor, the frescoes are wonderful. Boutique storefronts as a separate work of art. I advise you to visit!
A beautiful, but very crowded, congested place, constantly crowded. The Moscow GUM is much better made, both as a building and in organizing tourist flows.
Apart from a couple of photos in well-traveled places, there is nothing to do here.
