The pretty streets are often narrow and lined with nice apartment buildings that have boutiques and shops on the ground floor. This is a relatively expensive area of the city to live in: decorated balconies with overflowing flower pots, old style grocery shops with smiling people offering you food while you line up to pick and choose your favorite groceries. Make sure you stop by the Pinacoteca di Brera, one of the most impressive painting collections.
