Navigli + Aperitivo

Thinking of taking a trip to Milan, Italy? For decades the Navigli has been one of the most popular areas for to locals to meet and enjoy an aperitif in. But, this is not all the Navigli has to offer as it has a lot of interesting history that is often overlooked in favor of a classic Spritz and some nibbles.

On the Navigli tour, you will see historical shops, hidden courtyards, and waterways, as well as beautiful buildings and works of art.

You will discover stories that took place in these palaces and among these monuments, you will see murals created by different writers, churches that offer unexpected moments of peace.

You will then discover another side of the city, that of the occupied houses, and you will discover Gola an area that is being given new life.

Did you know

• That every last day of the year, an unauthorized bonfire is lit on via Gola?

• That one of the greatest Italian poets (or perhaps the greatest) lived right on the Navigli?

• The Navigli used to be one of the least development neighbourhoods in Milan and now it is considered one of the coolest areas.

During this walk, you can admire ancient and beautiful courtyards, the wash-house where until the first half of the last century the women of the area were doing the laundry, the works of the engraver Gigi Pedroli, and much more.

At the end of the tour, you will then have an aperitif in one of the most characteristic (and hidden) places in the area! So prepare to party together with your friends and other participants in the most cultural, curious and engaging ‘treasure hunt’ in Milan. You'll be glad to took a trip to Milan!
