Description:

Experience the best of Milan nightlife on the picturesque Navigli, the ancient canals of the city. Discover the places where locals come to eat, drink, or just take a break with friends and family, and enjoy regional food and drinks for a traditional aperitivo.

The ancient canals, originally built for defense, irrigation, and transportation, were covered over in the 1930s, but those that remain are now crowded with lively bars and trendy shops.

Start your tour with a glass of wine near the oldest canal, Naviglio Grande. Stroll through charming streets while your guide describes details of the city's past and present, from Leonardo da Vinci and Napoleon’s involvement with the canals to places to get the best original Risotto alla Milanese.

Savor the delicious wine, meats, cheeses, and typical local breads in a classy wine bar, and find out what makes them a specialty of the region with the help of your guide and the bar staff.

Continue your walking tour and admire chic designer shops, art galleries, bookstores, and bars. End your evening as locals do with the traditional aperitivo and relish a selection of traditional foods.
