One of Milan's most charming areas: well-connected, creative and always alive.
A historic district south of the Duomo, Porta Genova takes its name from its station, the oldest still in use in the city. Once a craft and railway area, it has become one of Milan's most creative hubs.
Nearby, the Darsena — a former 1603 harbour redeveloped for Expo 2015 — is the open-air living room where locals gather for aperitivo along the water.
