Imagine gently floating along the Ticino, with the golden silhouette of the Ponte Coperto standing out against a glowing sunset sky.

What to expect on board the Le Due Rive

On board the Le Due Rive, operated by Navigare Fiume Po, you can enjoy a unique experience on the river. Away from the noise of the city and gently carried by the slow rhythm of the water, you will have the opportunity to discover Pavia from a completely different perspective: from the river.

The Ponte Coperto of Pavia seen from the river

Few people know that one of the best ways to admire the Ponte Coperto of Pavia is from the river, sailing along the Ticino just as the sun sets on the horizon. This historic bridge, an unmistakable symbol of the city and one of Lombardy’s most photographed landmarks, becomes a spectacular display of light and colour at sunset.

The cruise is designed to reach the ideal panoramic viewpoint, where the Ponte Coperto perfectly frames the reflection of the setting sun on the water. It is a memorable sight that goes far beyond what a photograph can capture.

Practical information

Boarding is at 6:15 pm, directly from the pier at Ristorante Imbarcadero Pavia. The cruise lasts one hour.

The ticket price is €15 per person.

Booking is required and can be made online or by requesting information via WhatsApp at +39 338 890 6161. Places are limited, so advance booking is recommended.

All information and online booking are available on the official website: www.navigarefiumepo.it

Pavia is not only its thousand-year-old university, museums and Romanesque churches. It is also the Ticino, a river that flows quietly through the city, preserving centuries of history and landscapes of remarkable beauty. A boat trip is one of the most original ways to discover this riverside side of Pavia, often overlooked by visitors and even by local residents.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, looking for a different evening with friends, or simply want to enjoy a moment surrounded by authentic beauty, this experience offers a new way to discover Pavia. You do not need to be an experienced sailor or a boating enthusiast: simply step on board, let the river carry you along and enjoy every moment.
