Activities
Welcome to Milan! Upon our arrival, we will head to Urban Hive Milano Hotel. After check-in and some relaxation time, get ready for an unforgettable introduction to Milan’s history and charm with a guided walking tour of the Navigli district.
Our 2 hour walking tour begins in Piazza Sant’Eustorgio, in front of the basilica that was founded in the early Christian era. Our walk will take us to the Darsena, site of an ancient inner harbor built during the Spanish era and used for regional trade until the 1970s.
During the tour we’ll learn about the history of the canal from the 12th century, and how Leonardo da Vinci later improved the system of locks. Hear about the tradition of ancient trades and the people who lived along the waterways.
Cross the Triumph Bridge and walk along the Naviglio Pavese, passing picturesque alleys as we continue to the Naviglio Grande, Milan’s main canal. After reaching the canal we’ll walk with our guide until we come to Vicolo dei Lavandai, a corner that has been kept historically intact.
After the tour we may want to stay to enjoy an aperitivo at one of the bars lining the banks of the canals, or enjoy a meal at a traditional Milanese trattoria
We will have free time in the evening to enjoy the city.
