About Cinque Vie

Cinque Vie (meaning 'five streets') is a tiny area in the historic heart of Milan (just west of the Duomo) and the structure of the streets remains unchanged since Roman times. Take a walk and stumble upon ancient the Roman ruins, museums, cloisters, courtyards and beautiful churches of an undiscovered Milan. These charming, narrow streets are home to some of the city’s best shops, antique shops, and galleries. As well as being steeped in history, Cinque Vie is also extremely photogenic and is definitely ready for its Instagram close-up!
