Vicolo dei Lavandai, also known as the "Street of the Washers," is a hidden gem in Milan's Navigli district. This charming little street is tucked away by the Naviglio Grande canal and was once a bustling place where men used to wash clothes. Yes, you heard it right - washing used to be a man's profession back in the day! Nowadays, this historic spot is a popular attraction for visitors who want to get a glimpse of Milan's unique past. And while you're there, don't forget to check out the nearby restaurant, El Brellin, where you can enjoy a drink or two in a jazzy atmosphere. It's like stepping into a time machine and experiencing a fascinating piece of Milan's history firsthand!
