Beautiful and bustling. So pretty and different from the center of Milan. We enjoyed eating canal-side but get there early if you want to partake in the aperitif. We had to wait about half an hour to get a table for five. Bring mosquito repellent!! We got chewed up!

The name of the district is translated from Italian as "canals", as the appearance resembled Venice. The Grand Canal appeared first in 1178, and had a length of more than 50 kilometers. It was he who was used to deliver the snow-white marble from which the Duomo Cathedral in Milan was built.

I actually really liked this place. You have to walk down to get some quieter spots away from the loud party bars. We had the best drinks and food there. Take mosquito repellant as you will get bitten. The only thing that ruins it is the constant peddlers who try to sell you something, the government should really put a stop to this as they are irritating. Lots of nice restaurants but hunt around as there are many!

Visited here last October in 2022. We had a brilliant time, weather was lovely, plenty of bars and restaurants to choose. Top tip…Get takeaway drinks and enjoy them on the canal !! Some bars do deals where they’re half the price so we had drinks which were €5 instead of €10.

I spent a half of a day along the lovely canals of Milan. It was not crowded with tourists and I was amazed by the restaurants and street vendors. I decided to have lunch at one of the restaurants and I was pretty much there alone until my desert came out. The area was so calm and peaceful and walking along the canals was great.

We hopped off the hop on hop off tour bus here & had a lovely walk around the canal area of Milan. We were there in the daytime/October so fairly quiet. Lots of bars/cafes/restaurants everywhere & plenty of artisan stalls selling items. Loved the area.

The heart of the city has moved to this area, full of bars, cafes, restaurants!The canals are not so big. but is is nice to walk along and watch the people gathering and listen to music and meaybe, if you are like see a local music band. We were lucky to stay in a walking distance apartment and visited three times in a row!!! Apperitivo is served everywhere! There asre also nice restaurants, but you need to make a reservation.

The canal is a great place to go after wandering around the city. We went there for 2 nights. You can go on a boat up and down but we didn’t bother. Was nice to drink aperitifs and just chill. We were there very late and it felt safe. Metro nearby and some lovely restaurants for all budgets.
