The Villoresi Canal cycle path runs through the Lombardy countryside, along the entire length of the Villoresi Canal, the historic waterway built for irrigation in the late 19th century by engineer Eugenio Villoresi. The canal draws water from the Ticino River near Somma Lombardo and, after an 86 km journey, returns it to the Adda River near Groppello.

Perfect for a relaxing outing or a pleasant stroll. If you're passing through Monza's city center, stopping in the square for coffee and a pastry is practically a must: it recharges your batteries better than any energy bar! A smooth cycle path suitable for all levels.

The canal draws water from the Ticino River near Somma Lombardo and, after an 86 km journey, returns it to the Adda River near Groppello. It's an easy, flat cycle route, accessible to all types of bicycles and also suitable for families with children. An ideal place for a day trip, it allows you to explore the area's natural and scenic riches, cycling through cultivated fields, parks, and woods, with several detours to discover the architectural beauty of the many municipalities along the canal, or to continue along other cycle paths along the canal.

A good tour, suitable for everyone. There are occasional interruptions due to maintenance work on the cycle path. However, these are easily overcome with small detours.

The Lago Nord Park is located in the municipality of Paderno Dugnano and features two lakes separated by a tree-lined walkway. The first lake is used for recreational fishing, while the second is characterized by a more spontaneous and wild development and is home to several species of resident and migratory birds. The lake's waters are artificially diverted from the Villoresi canal, flowing into the reservoir through a small artificial waterfall. The Lago Nord Park was awarded the European Community Prize for the best environmental reclamation of a sand and gravel quarry.

The current Villa Bagatti Valsecchi is the result of an eclectic renovation carried out by brothers Giuseppe and Fausto Bagatti Valsecchi, who made it their country residence, combining Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance elements. It unfolds as a linear block with a vast porticoed courtyard and a dramatic entrance. The loggia at the top of the villa, in a central position, was built using the remains of the bell tower of the destroyed Convent of Sant'Erasmo in Milan. The villa retains its vast original garden, divided into two zones: an English garden to the sides and an Italian garden to the rear, with a long avenue leading to the garden. The park houses the remains of the 15th-century Lazzaretto of Milan, transported here and carefully reconstructed.
