Once Milan was a city of waters. Even if today it doesn’t seem that similar to Venice, in the past it was just as rich of canals as Venice is.
The majority of these canals were drained and covered, while a few ones were left untouched, and are visible today mainly in the area of Porta Ticinese, where the two great Navigli start: the Great Naviglio and the Naviglio Pavese.
Two long streets run along the Navigli, with their not so clean waters, but with that something that makes the whole area very characteristic. Walking along the banks of the Navigli is certainly worth it, and the visitor will have the feeling to be walking down the streets of Venice.
