Why book a hotel in Navigli Milan?

Navigli. The young vibe of Milan, the area where you will find countless bars, restaurants, and perfect spots for your aperitivo. The area is characterised by a grand canal surrounded by colorful 18th-century buildings with balconies and unique green internal courtyards. The area to book your hotel or apartment in Milan if you wish to stay close to everything but yet enjoy the hype of evening activities and the beauty of the mornings on the canal.

Navigli is much easier to reach from any of your arrival stations than you perhaps imagine – let it be Milano Centrale, Cadorna, or Porta Garibaldi. You simply hop on the metro, take the green line and within 10min you will reach Navigli.

Not to forget, Navigli hosts a vintage clothes market each Saturday morning and one of the largest vintage flea markets every last Sunday of each month.

Versoverde Hotel Alzaia Naviglio Grande is honestly one of the most unique hotels I have come across in Milan.
