What's open on Sundays in Milan?
Sunday in Milan runs on a different clock than the rest of the week. Most independent shops and small businesses close entirely, but the city is far from dead. The Duomo and its rooftop terraces are open daily; book tickets in advance at duomomilano.it to skip the queue. Brera and Navigli are the two neighborhoods that hold up best on Sundays — bars and restaurants there operate normally, and the Pinacoteca di Brera (closed Mondays, not Sundays) keeps regular museum hours. The large chain stores along Corso Buenos Aires and inside Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II are open. Mercatone dell'Antiquariato, the antiques market along the Naviglio Grande, runs on the last Sunday of each month and is worth timing your visit around. Supermarkets like Esselunga close, but smaller alimentari and convenience stores often stay open through the afternoon. Metro service runs but on a reduced Sunday timetable, so add buffer time if you're catching a train from Centrale.
