In-Depth Information
Milan was once defined by its network of canals, which fell into disuse in the 20th
century. Today the banks of the Naviglio Grande and Naviglio Pavese are lined
with some of the city's best trattorie, artists' workshops, bars and nightclubs. At
weekends locals flock here for sunny strolls and weekend markets.

Across Graffitti Bridge, behind the railway tracks of Porta Genova, the Zona Tor-
tona was once a tangle of working-class tenements and factories. Now flush with
shopkeepers, ateliers and fashion HQ's this is the place to rub shoulders with Mil-
an's up-and-coming designers.
