Walk past the Leonardo-designed locks and head straight for the aperitivo bars lining Naviglio Grande. Skip the midday sun; this area peaks around 7 PM when everyone's out for Spritz and snacks. It’s crowded, but that’s the point. Avoid the tourist-trap menus and find a spot with a buffet. Spend two hours exploring the side alleys or book a night tour with a local guide to find the bars that don't show up on TikTok.
