Overview

The Navigli canals are the beating heart of Milan's social and cultural life. Partly designed by Leonardo da Vinci, this ancient network once transported marble for the Duomo and goods across northern Italy. Today, the Navigli district is Milan's most beloved bohemian neighborhood — canal-side bars, art studios, and trattorias that embody the city's spirit after dark.
A sunset boat cruise along the Naviglio Grande offers a unique perspective: you glide past centuries-old buildings and vibrant terraces as golden light reflects off the water.
The optional aperitivo includes one drink of your choice — such as a Spritz or Italian wine — plus a selection of snacks (stuzzichini) like olives and bruschetta. A classic Milanese ritual that marks the transition from day to evening.
History, atmosphere, and aperitivo — an authentic immersion into what makes Milan unique.
