Afternoon snack + visit- Navigli Lombardi
The perfect place to spend the end of the afternoon. Here you can grab something quick to eat and go for a cute little trip. Today, visitors to Milan can enjoy a 55-minute cruise along the remaining Navigli Lombardi. Tour boats depart from the point where Darsena, the city’s historic port, and the Naviglio Grande, Milan’s most important canal, meet. Strolling along the narrow towpaths is a popular way to explore the Navigli neighborhood too. It’s the perfect vintage style tour.

Time to eat again x 2- Dinner/going out at Camparino in Galleria
Originally the historical home of Campari, it changed several owners, over the course of a hundred years since founded, before returning to the Campari namesake in the past few years. The cafe/bar is found in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele with a fantastic view of the Duomo and it’s the most iconic vintage industrial style to have dinner in.
It has a reputation for class and dedication, being such a historic landmark in Milan. The place is reputed also to have one of the best cappuccinos in the city. Although on the pricier side, it also serves fantastic, traditional, Italian dishes. Camparino certainly cannot be missed!
