Navigli: Beer, music and water. Navigli Review

Navigli used to be a network of canals that were mainly used for transportation and irrigation (see my things to do tip).

Today, only two of the navigli have survived the city reshape that took place in the late 18th and early 19th century, and you can find both of them (as well as the "darsena", the main water deposit) in the area of Porta Ticinese.

These rivers make the setting for Milan's liveliest area after the sun sets.

Pizzerias, breweries, bars, pubs, restaurant - name it. You'll find everything down here. The list of places is practically endless, so just go there and take a walk (and a sip).

Take care not to fall in the water when drunk - the stream is treacherous! :o)

Dress Code: Try to look nice, otherwise you may feel the Milanese are outdressing you.

Address: Porta Ticinese area

Directions: It's south of the main center, reachable by tram or metro.
