You could spend more than a day just exploring the Golden Rectangle and its designer boutique–lined main streets: Via Monte Napoleone, Via della Spiga, Via Manzoni and Corso Venezia and the inner side streets of Via Gesu, Bosgospesso and Via sant’Andrea. Giorgio Armani has his own little universe on Via Manzoni, ranging from Emporio Armani to Armani Casa and Armani Books. On the edges of the rectangle, check out lesser-known shops. If the exchange rate is holding you back, do as the locals do and shop at the city’s fashion discount houses, which offer designer pieces at fifty to seventy percent off.
