This is the area where the most famous Milanese venues overlook the Darsena, the bustling heart of the city, rich in history and charm. Renowned fashion brands also have a presence here, lending a unique elegance to the area. Along the picturesque Vicolo delle Lavandaie, women of the past used to wash the neighborhood's laundry for a fee, creating a quaint and authentic atmosphere that can still be felt today among the alleys and canals of the Navigli.
