Navigli

The Navigli district in Milan is a much-loved area known for its quirky charm and lively nightlife scene. Visitors can stroll along the banks of the Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Pavese, stopping off for a drink or for some shopping in the many artisan and indie shops along the way. The area is home to several markets, art galleries, and artisan craft shops, and in the evening, the lights from the myriad of clubs and restaurants flicker and reflect in the canals, making it a great place to dine outdoors. The district is also home to the celebrated palazzi di ringhiera, tenements with shared balconies, and the evocative Vicolo dei Lavandai, a perfect spot for a romantic pause. Water is also the backdrop to many other activities, including rowing and canoeing on the canals, and visitors can take a water tour to view the city from an unusual and relaxing perspective
