Navigli Canals Boat Trip
Navigli Canals Boat Trip
At your chosen time, we'll meet up at the Alzaia Naviglio Grande on the banks of the Navigli Canals. We'll welcome you on board and then set sail through one of Milan's most famous districts.
Our boat trip will begin with a glimpse of the Case di Ringhiera, the typical houses of Milan's working-class neighbourhoods. Afterwards, you'll admire views of the 13th-century Church of San Cristoforo.
As we sail through the capital of Lombardy, you'll discover lots of fun facts about the places you see with your audio guide in English. One of the things you'll learn about will be how mascarpone was invented, which we'll find out about as we pass through a nautical alley lined with cheese workshops.
During our boat trip along the Navigli Canals, you'll also see the Canottieri Milano Olona rowing club. With over 100 years of history, it's one of the oldest rowing clubs in Milan. Nearby, we'll find the Vicolo dei Lavandai where the clothes of wealthy families were washed in the 18th century.
Some of the other fantastic sights we'll see during our boat trip will be Scodellino bridge, a dock full of nightlife venues and even one of Leonardo da Vinci's best inventions. Don't forget your camera!
After 45 minutes to 1 hour of sailing, we'll arrive back at the starting point and finish our boat trip.
Add an Aperitif
Did you know that the aperitif is a cherished ritual for the Milanese? Enhance your boat trip by indulging in this delightful tradition! By choosing this option, you'll follow the same scenic route, but with the added treat of a drink and some locally-prepared delicacies.
As we cruise, you'll admire the charming railing houses which are now bustling bars and restaurants that make this neighborhood one of the most vibrant areas in the city.
