Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Why go

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a covered shopping arcade in central Milan; Italy's national tourism portal describes it as the covered passageway between the Teatro alla Scala and the Duomo, built in neo-Renaissance style on a cross-shaped plan whose central crossing is called the Octagon, with a large archway opening onto Piazza del Duomo. The portal calls it the city's shopping hub, and Wikidata records the City of Milan as its owner. This record is the arcade itself, not the shops, restaurants or rooftop visits inside it. XTOUR found no operator visitor page for the arcade, so nothing about access or opening is stated here.
