4. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

One of the oldest shopping centres in the world, today the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a mecca for luxury shopping, with signature Italian labels such as Gucci and Prada calling it home.

Those on a smaller budget can appreciate the architecture and seek out reasonably priced souvenirs, although you’d be wise to eat elsewhere; even a coffee will cost you a small fortune in the fancy cafés that line the galleries.
