Milan is a city of many faces. Some visitors highlight the gorgeous grand buildings such as the Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II in the center, while to others, the slightly bland, industrial side along the outskirts stands out. There are streets that resemble Paris and those that brim with southern Italian charm. But one neighborhood everybody agrees on is Navigli.

Navigli, pronounced more like Navili with the G being nearly perfectly silent, lies in the south of the center of Milan. It’s a mere 20-odd-minute walk, or a briefer — although not much briefer — tram ride (tram number 2) from the Duomo.
