Navigli at sunset
The canals are where Milan does its evening, and the sunset tours are the most atmospheric: a walk along the Naviglio Grande with stops for cheese and salumi, a plate of risotto, a cocktail at a canal-side bar and a dessert, as the towpaths fill up. They run three hours and replace dinner. Skip the canal boat cruises with an aperitivo on board; the drinks are the point and the reviews say so.
Street food in the centre
The daytime alternative: a guided two-and-a-half-hour circuit that takes in the panzerotto counter near the Duomo, a slice of focaccia or a mondeghilo, risotto at a trattoria, and gelato, with the Galleria, the Duomo and Brera passed on the way. Cheaper, earlier, and a good first-day orientation.
Brera and the markets
Brera tours go slower: delis, enoteche and a trattoria course in the old artists’ quarter. Market-led tours use Mercato Centrale inside the station or the Porta Romana farmers’ market on its mornings, Wednesday to Saturday.
