Begin your tour by boarding the new electric boat. As the boat sets off along the canal, see the "case di Ringhiera", typical houses of the working-class districts of Milan. Cruise towards the popular 13th-century church of San Cristoforo while listening to informative commentary from your guide. See where the delicious Marscarpone cheese is said to have been invented as you float down an alley of cheesemakers.
Come across the historic headquarters of the Canottieri Milano Olona, one of the longest-running rowing clubs in the city of Milan, with a history of over 100 years behind it. Pass by the famous Vicolo dei Lavandai, an architectural wonder that in the 18th-century was in charge of washing the linen of wealthy families.
Cross the Scodellino bridge and reach the modern Darsena, an area of entertainment on the water, full of busy bars, restaurants, and clubs. It is still today one of the main centers of Milanese nightlife.
Float towards the Trophy bridge and finally come to the Conchetta designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Experience the 14 navigation basins of the Conchetta that connect Milan and Pavia. It is still operational five centuries after its construction.

It was interesting to learn about the history of the canal and it’s importance to Milan. Headphones for sale would have been helpful as I forgot mine and had to listen conspicuously with my phone to my ear. The boat ride was the perfect pace in the heat of the day! Great tour!
nicht schlecht
Aucun intérêt Pas de vue sur la ville La partie la plus agréable se fait à pied avant de prendre le bateau
It was a great activity to relax and wind down. If you are just beat it’s a perfect activity. Wonderful if you have limited mobility as well.
Le paysage n’est pas tres beau a regarder. Les sieges sur le bateau sont inconfortable. Autrement le reste etait ok
Not recommend
