Milan - Day Trips
Take a break in Italy's very own Lake District or visit the walled hilltop town of Bergamo.
Half an hour from Milan is picturesque Lake Como – visit Varenna and Bellagio for the ultimate romantic spots. Head to Cannobio on Lake Maggiore with its tangled streets of old stone houses. For a slice of medieval charm, visit nearby Pavia, the city of 'a hundred towers' and impressive monastery Certosa di Pavia. For panoramic views, head to the walled, hilltop town of Bergamo and dine in the osterias (inns) around the lovely Piazza Vecchia. See if university town Mantua lives up to novelist Aldous Huxley's description: the world's most romantic city.
