Sailing on the water
You can visit the city on the water by boat. Two, in fact, there are two starting points offered by the Voluntary Associations that play a free transport service on "batane": the Association "La Batana" carries out its activities near the old fish market. Hence a picturesque route goes through canals of the old town that reaches the district S.Pietro. From Via Cavour Canal next to the Clock Tower, the Association “La Comacina” lends service; with the path you can reach the Loggiato dei Cappuccini sailing along the canal Lombardo.
Walking on the bridges
