Drinks & Bites in Milan: Navigli Aperitivo Tour in Milan - Milan_Navigli_Drinks_Bites_MAIN.jpg

Welcome to Milan’s most atmospheric district: Navigli. As the day winds down and golden light reflects off the historic canals, experience the city’s most beloved ritual—aperitivo. This early evening tradition isn’t just about food and drinks, it’s a way of life, and there’s no better place to enjoy it than here.

Join your local host for a relaxed and flavorful walk through Navigli, where the charm of cobbled streets, canal-side terraces, and passing boats set the perfect backdrop. Sip on a refreshing Spritz or a local wine, and taste perfectly paired bites like crostini, olives, or focaccia—just as the locals do.

As you hop from one inviting bar to another, you’ll hear stories about the Navigli's past—from its origins as a working canal network designed by Leonardo da Vinci, to its present-day role as Milan’s creative and social heart. Discover hidden corners, vibrant street art, and scenic spots where the light hits just right.
