About Italy


There are a number of things to do and to see in Milan. Visit the Saint Ambrose basilica, a fine example of pure romanesque style and wander through the medieval streets of the district to the San Lorenzo basilica, with its mosaics of gold.

Wandering around the merchants square, you will discover traces of the ancient city – from Broletto, the largest and most famous of the medieval public palaces of Lombardy to the Duomo, a fine example of Gothic art.

  • Paris-Milan - TGV | . | 2012/11/12
    "We'd purchased 1st Class tickets and found the seats comfortable, and liked the fact that we could sit back and enjoy the scenery - especially through the Alps region. The only problem we experienced was during the last 90 minutes of the journey, when a passenger in our carriage was using his mobile phone in an extremely, long, loud and animated conversation, which everyone in the carriage was subjected to. Some left to escape this irritating behaviour, but it would have been good if there was professional staff patrolling the carriages to manage such antisocial behaviour. "

  • TGV Paris - Milan | . | 2012/11/12
    "Positives - Really nice trip, comfortable and lovely views all the way, especially through the Alps. We were lucky to have seats that looked forward and out the window - in many seats people couldn't see out at all - seat allocation seems to be the luck of the draw. Negatives - Onboard food was overpriced but that is to be expected; toilets were dirty quickly and not tidied often enough. "

  • Geneva to Milan | . | 2012/11/03
    "Great Trip, really enjoyed the scenery. The only problem we encountered was my friend was not able to use her return ticket as she had to return to Geneva early. As our party of three were all listed on the one ticket we were not able to cancel or transfer the travel date for one person. I would advise other groups travelling together to request separate travel vouchers for each individual. "

    "The French train was rather "tired" and in need of refurbishment. It was 50 minutes late into Milan, leaving us 17 minutes to get to Milano Centrale to catch our connection. Not good enough for what we paid. The booking fee was a rip off. "

  • Italy to France leg 2 | . | 2012/10/26
    "You cannot go past the french TGV trains there are superb. Again book your reservation to ensure a seat and comfort these trains are heavily utilised. "
