Where do the beautiful people of Italy go to play?

Where do the beautiful people of Italy go to play? Milan's Naviglio Canal, for vintage shopping and cocktails. The Milan Canal is a hidden gem for travelers passing through, but a great place for locals or those on a deep tour. The canal has several branches, one of which is less crowded, mostly with couples or friends sitting on both sides. The other side has bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. The shops are mostly second-hand, with record stores and bars with great cocktails. Come here in the afternoon to shop for interesting things, and in the evening for a drink, and you'll feel especially chill. It's a weekend habit for city dwellers. The small bars on the shore are all decorated with romantic and individual styles. In the height of summer, people are more willing to come here at night, and the neon lights in front of the bars create a romantic atmosphere. On the north bank of the canal, there is a small courtyard with several galleries and photography studios, covered with ivy. The history of the Milan Canal Eighty or ninety years ago, Milan was surrounded by five artificial canals. The canal was built in the 10th century, and in the 14th century, Leonardo da Vinci designed a lock for it. In the days before trains and cars, the canal was an important lifeline for the city, bringing in the necessities of life for the people of Milan, including the marble used to build the cathedral. By the 1960s, with the rise of rail and road transport, the canal was abandoned and most of it was filled in. The Milan City Council then restored part of the canal, which slowly evolved into today's most artistic open-air, bustling antique market. The banks are lined with restaurants, bars, galleries, antique shops, and trendy shops. Antique market opening hours: The last Sunday of each month Transport: Green Line M2 Metro Porta Genova Station.
