Full description
Milan's Chinatown centres on Via Paolo Sarpi, a pedestrianised street that has long been the heart of the city's Chinese community. Along it and the surrounding blocks you find Asian grocery stores, wholesale shops, tea and bubble-tea counters, bakeries and restaurants serving regional Chinese food, mixed with older Milanese businesses and a growing number of trendy cafés.
The atmosphere is busy and everyday rather than sightseeing-oriented, which makes it a good stop for anyone curious about the city's multicultural side. It is easily walked in about an hour.
