With its cobblestone streets, flower- adorned balconies and secret courtyards, Brera is an elegant timeless district harbouring some of the city’s best cultural attractions. The Pinacoteca di Brera houses one of Italy’s most comprehensive collections of Italian art, while the nearby Botanical Garden is a pleasant spot for a stroll. Scores of lively cafes and restaurants are dotted here and there throughout

the neighbourhood. Since the 19th century, Brera has been the artistic district of the city, with a particularly lively, bustling atmosphere around the Accademia delle Belle Arti . Many of the area’s buildings were commissioned by Maria Theresa of Austria, who transformed Palazzo di Brera into a veritable cultural centre. The building houses the Accademia , the Pinacoteca and the Lombard

Institute Academy of Science and Letters, as well as the Braidense National Library, the Astronomical Observatory and the Botanical Garden. On the third Sunday of the month, Brera hosts a lively flea market, while during the annual Fuorisalone, Brera is considered to be Milan’s leading design district, hosting numerous exhibitions and design events that attract large crowds.
