Milan’s canal district, known for its twin canals and its cobblestone streets packed with contemporary art galleries and vintage stores
About Navigli District
Italy
The Navigli District is one of Milan’s most atmospheric and lively neighbourhoods, known for its historic canals, vibrant nightlife, and creative energy. Originally designed in part by Leonardo da Vinci, the canal system once connected Milan to nearby lakes and rivers, playing a vital role in the city’s trade and transport. Today, two main canals remain—Naviglio Grande and Naviglio Pavese—lined with cafés, art studios, vintage shops, and bars. The area has a bohemian charm, especially in the evenings when lights reflect off the water and locals gather for aperitivo or dinner by the canals. It’s also a cultural hub, home to artists, musicians, and independent galleries. The district is particularly popular on weekends and during events like the monthly antiques market or Milan’s design week. Whether you’re after a romantic walk, a unique shopping experience, or a taste of Milan’s social scene, Navigli offers an inviting and authentic slice of the city.
