The area characterized by the Navigli is certainly one of the most picturesque in the city. Its core is constituted by Porta Ticinese, one of the ancient city gates and the Darsena, the famous dockyard of the past which is no longer in use. Here, every Saturday morning the Fiera di Senigallia takes place, the bustling flea market where second-hand goods and antiques may be found at very colourful stalls.
At the great basin of Darsena Dockyard meet the Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Interno: the former carries the waters of Lake Maggiore and the latter the waters of Como Lake. A third one, the Naviglio Pavese flows towards River Ticino and joins after a while River Po.
Nowadays along the Canals, boutiques, ateliers, craftsmen’s workshops and antique shops which build up one of the most exclusive shopping areas in the city, display their beautiful creations and products.
Along the canal banks many opportunities of nightlife entertainment are offered by the district’s countless bars, pubs, wineries, osterie, traditional restaurants and discos.
