What travelers think of our Milan experiences
What you’ll do
No trip to Milan is complete without embracing the city’s beloved aperitivo tradition, and with a local host by your side, you’ll experience it in its most authentic form. In the chic Navigli district, where historic canals meet the buzz of modern Milanese life, you’ll explore some of the city’s most iconic bars and hidden gems.
Stroll along the vibrant canals as the sun sets, painting the water in shimmering shades of orange and silver. Pause at Darsena, the picturesque harbor where two of Navigli’s canals meet, before venturing into the neighborhood’s lively heart. Your host will guide you to the perfect spot—or spots!—to enjoy this cherished ritual.
Perhaps you’ll settle at Manhattan, a laid-back local haunt with a sprawling buffet of pizza, cheeses, and olives, or savor the famous charcuteries at La Prosciutteria. Feeling adventurous? Sip a crafted cocktail at Mag Café or UGO, or stick with a classic spritz or a glass of wine, just as the Milanese do. With every bite of bruschetta and sip of your drink, you’ll immerse yourself in a tradition that’s as delicious as it is social.
This isn’t just aperitivo—it’s Milan’s spirit in a glass, served with a side of timeless charm. Let the Navigli district enchant you as you toast to a true taste of Milanese culture!
