Exploring Porta Ticinese, Business-Driven Milan's Bohemian District

There’s a distinct bohemian buzz as you walk through Corso di Porta Ticinese, the street connecting Colonne di San Lorenzo to Piazza XXIV Maggio. Ticinese is one of Milan's liveliest districts and a favorite among young people, students and trendy types, with its vinyl and vintage shops, stylish pop-up businesses, tattoo parlors and late-night hangouts. One of the city’s main shopping streets, Via Torino, connects Ticinese to Piazza Duomo, only a few minutes away on foot.
