Milan Navigli Boat Cruise with Aperitif

The Milan Navigli Boat Cruise with Aperitif takes passengers along the Navigli canal network, the historic waterway system that once served as the city's main commercial artery and is credited in part to designs overseen by Leonardo da Vinci in the late 15th century. The cruise runs through the Naviglio Grande and Naviglio Pavese, two of the most intact surviving canals among Milan attractions, passing the low-rise workshops, bars, and residential facades that line the towpaths.

On board, guests are served an aperitif, typically including a drink and light snacks in the local tradition. The format is a guided or narrated boat tour, suited to those wanting a ground-level view of a district that is less covered by standard city itineraries. Tickets cover the cruise duration, the included aperitif service, and boarding at the Navigli departure point.
