Milan water city, marbles and fresh fish

Milan was once considered a “water city”, thanks to its many canals and its ancient harbor (Darsena), used for trades and means of transports. Nowadays the area of the so-called Naviglio Grande is one of the beloved touristic destination for its markets, the possibility of sailing by ferry boat along the canal and the the freshest fish in Italy you can taste and buy!

You will meet your local and private licensed guide in Milan for an unexpected visit to what was a “water city” in the past, thanks to its Navigli, the artificial canals that were the protagonists of its economic and commercial luck.

Your itinerary will wind from Naviglio Grande, with stops at the Darsena, the old basin where the marble blocks from Candoglia, used to build the Duomo, were carried, to some architectural jewels, such as the Church of S. Cristoforo, as far as some characteristic places i.e. some railing houses and the alley of laundrymen.

Your walking tour will be enriched with a pleasant 1-hour navigation on board a public boat and it will also include a walk to the bridge of “Scodellino” and to Conchetta, the Leonardo famous sluice on Naviglio Pavese. A tasteful stop based on fresh fish with a glass of wine will enjoy your tour.
