Milan: Navigli and Darsena Boat Tour

Discover Milan from the water as you take a tour of the city using its canals and dock.

This one-hour tour of the city by electric boat will lead you past some of Milan's most famous locations. There is an informative audio guide available in many languages (Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese) for you to enhance your experience.

Starting from the Naviglio Grande, you'll see typical Milanese railing houses that paint a picture of Milan in the past. After a few more minutes of idyllic cruising, you'll encounter one of the oldest churches in the city: the Church of San Cristoforo, whose construction began in the 13th century.

Advancing further along the Naviglio Grande, you'll run into the historic headquarters of Canottieri Milano Olona and the famous Vicolo dei lavandai, an architectural gem named after the residents who used to wash their laundry there.

Crossing the Scodellino bridge, you'll reach the modern and famous Darsena, which has been an area of entertainment and leisure for centuries. It's still the center of Milanese nightlife and full of bars, restaurants, and clubs.

After leaving the Darsena, ride along the Naviglio Pavese and catch a glimpse of the Formaggiaia village where the delicious Mascarpone is said to have been invented.
