NEIGHBORHOOD

The Navigli district is one of the most fascinating and characteristic in Milan, rich in history, culture and social life. It is located southwest of the city center and is famous for its historic canals, lively nightlife and art scene. The Navigli offer a perfect mix of tradition and modernity, with restaurants, art galleries, artisan markets and cafes that liven up the streets day and night.



The Navigli were designed and built starting from the 12th century as a network of canals that connected Milan with Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and the Po River, making it possible to transport goods and materials, including the marble used to build the Milan Cathedral. A particularly fascinating aspect of the Navigli is the fact that engineers such as Leonardo da Vinci were involved in the design of locks and hydraulic systems. Although much of the original network was covered in the 20th century, the two main canals, the Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Pavese, are still visible today and are the heart of the neighborhood.



Naviglio Grande is the most famous and oldest canal in Milan, and it is here that most of the attractions of the neighborhood are concentrated. Its banks are lined with bars, restaurants, art galleries and design shops. Walking along the Naviglio Grande at sunset is a magical experience, with the lights of the city reflecting in the waters of the canal and the lively atmosphere of the clubs that lights up. On weekends, the area comes alive even more thanks to the markets and outdoor events that make the visit even more enjoyable.



Naviglio Pavese, also very suggestive, extends south and offers a quieter route than the Naviglio Grande. Here too there are several clubs and restaurants, but the Naviglio Pavese is also known for its relaxed atmosphere, perfect for those looking for a corner of peace within the city.



Vicolo dei Lavandai is a little hidden gem along the Naviglio Grande, which still retains its historic function as an open-air washhouse, used until the 1950s. The alley has been restored and offers a glimpse of the Milan of the past, with the old stones where clothes were washed still visible. It is a perfect place for a quiet stroll and to immerse yourself in the historic atmosphere of the neighborhood.



The Darsena is one of the main hubs of the Navigli and has recently been redeveloped, becoming one of the most popular places in the area. Once the port of Milan, today the Darsena is a large pedestrian area overlooking the water, surrounded by restaurants, ice cream parlors and public spaces. It is the ideal place for a stroll or an outdoor aperitif, especially during the warmer months.



Every last Sunday of the month, the banks of the Naviglio Grande are transformed into a large open-air market, known as the Mercatone dell'Antiquariato. Here, over 350 exhibitors offer a wide range of antiques, furniture, jewelry, books and curiosities. It is an unmissable event for vintage lovers and for anyone who wants to take a dip into the past.



Located near the Navigli, the Casa delle Arti – Spazio Alda Merini is a museum dedicated to the famous Milanese poet Alda Merini, one of the most important figures in contemporary Italian poetry. The space hosts exhibitions, cultural events and poetry readings, and is a fascinating place to discover the poet's life and work.



This small church dating back to the 13th century, located along the Naviglio Grande, is a jewel of Lombard Gothic architecture. It is one of the most evocative places in the neighborhood and is often used for weddings and ceremonies. Its location on the banks of the canal makes it particularly picturesque.



Porta Genova, located a few steps from the Naviglio Grande, is another dynamic and lively area. The Porta Genova train station connects Milan with nearby cities, and is an important hub for public transport. The area is famous for its trendy restaurants and clubs, as well as for the Mudec – Museo delle Culture, which hosts contemporary art exhibitions and international installations.



The Tortona neighborhood, adjacent to the Navigli, is famous for being the creative center of Milan. During Milan Design Week, the area transforms into a laboratory of ideas and innovations, hosting emerging designers and international brands. During the rest of the year, Tortona is still a lively neighborhood, with fashion boutiques, showrooms and exhibition spaces.



Not far from the Navigli, the Sant'Ambrogio neighborhood is one of the oldest in Milan, famous for its monumental Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, one of the most important churches in the city. The area is quiet and residential, but also offers a rich cultural offering thanks to the presence of museums and theaters.



Porta Ticinese is another point of reference near the Navigli, characterized by a young and dynamic atmosphere. The area is known for its numerous bars and restaurants, which make it one of the most popular places for Milanese nightlife. Here you can also find the historic Colonne di San Lorenzo, one of the main meeting places for Milanese youth.



The Navigli are also famous for their lively nightlife. The banks of the canal are dotted with bars and restaurants that offer a wide range of options, from traditional Milanese cuisine to international dishes. The aperitif on the Navigli is an unmissable ritual: many places offer drinks accompanied by generous buffets, in an informal and welcoming atmosphere.



In short

The Navigli district is one of the most iconic and picturesque spots in Milan. With its rich history, vibrant social life and cultural offerings, it is the perfect place for those who want to experience the city in an authentic way. With its efficient transport network, numerous tourist and cultural attractions and its central location, the Navigli are a must-see for anyone visiting Milan.
