Navigli is a small district made up of a few canals, that now is bustling with bars, eateries and indie shops. Originally it used be full of manufacturing businesses and dying houses for the clothing industry, but it still retains some of it's original charm and charisma.
The first time I ever went to the area was back in 2001, and it had a few businesses cropping up and the feel of a new Soho, like London and New York. Now it's a famous area to visit with the Milanese, and obviously the occasional tourist.
Certainly worth a trek down to the south of the city, but make sure you leave yourself all night as you can't walk two metres without stopping at another bar, eatery or cool little store!
Easy to get to by the Metro, train or tram. 'Porto Genova'
