Navigli Breaks

If you think Milan’s all about high fashion and historic landmarks, wait until you experience Navigli. This lively, artsy neighbourhood is centred around two picturesque canals designed by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. By day, it’s a charming spot to wander through vintage shops, quirky boutiques, and hidden courtyards. But when the sun sets, Navigli comes alive with some of the best aperitivo spots in the city.

Start your evening along the Naviglio Grande, where bars and restaurants spill onto the canal-side, serving up classic Negronis and colourful spritzes alongside delicious Milanese bites. If you’re into your art, check out the many galleries and the vibrant street art scene, while foodies won’t want to miss the famous Mercato Metropolitano, a street food heaven. Want to explore further? Hop on a boat tour and see Milan from the water. Navigli’s where Milan’s historic charm meets modern energy, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the city beyond the fashion scene. Canalside Aperol spritz, anyone?
