At the heart of Washington is, perhaps unsurprisingly, Via George Washington. This grand avenue was a marvel when it was built in the nineteenth century, but these days it feels a bit more run-of-the-mill. Recently, however, there has been a big push to increase green spaces in the area, and now there are trees, patches of grass and flowerbeds all across the neighbourhood. It’s largely residential – there’s less to actually do than there is in places like Brera – but as a result, there are also fewer tourists, so it’ll just be you and the Milanesi.
