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. Go to La Sala delle Asse to see the renowned frescos by Leonardo and the very last masterpiece of Michelangelo – The Rondanini Pieta.

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.

In Milan you will find distinct flavours that will make you discover the origins of the Lombard cuisine: Risotto alla milanese, cotoletta, panetton... Savour these old fashioned traditional Milanese dishes accompanied by the best wines in one of the many restaurants of the city.

Go to the heart of the luxury shopping area in Milan: Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga and Via Sant’Andrea are streets that together with Via Manzoni, Via Borgospesso and Via Santo Spirito are best known for shopping sprees. The most prestigious boutiques are there. You will also find unique jewels created by the most famous name, clothes and accessories to die for, and shoes that are works of art. The factory shops or atelier showrooms of Gucci, Versace, Luis Vuitton, Prada and Cartier are found there. In Via Sant’Andrea you can find brands like Fendi, Armani, Moschino, Kenzo, Cesare Paciotti, Hermés, Prada and Trussardi. The elegant Via Manzoni is home to the Giorgio Armani store.

    "The Frecciarossa trains are wonderful - fast, efficient and clean with better than average train toilets. Booking ahead for a good deal is a must as some people had paid more than twice what I had for the same journey. "

    Night Train to Paris woes | David a. | 2015/01/25
    "We booked with an open mind after reading some of the reviews. We were certainly not expecting a five star service. But we did not expect a friendly six in a compartment with luggage and carry bags. It was physically impossible to accommodate all of us in there. We were finally given another berth to ourselves. It was a long, cold journey. around 11 hours. All through the night. Refreshments were basic. The trains are quite old and need some TLC. Never again.... "

    Takes the strees out of travel | Simon c. | 2015/01/13
    "Having pre-booked tickets made our travels much less stressful. With typical Swiss precision the train left on time and the trip was smooth and extremely comfortable. The windows were clean giving a clear view of the snow-covered countryside. I will certainly make the same arrangements when I am next able to travel through Europe. "

    Train Travel in Europe | Maria y. | 2014/12/07
    "Train travel in Europe was excellent. Zurich/Arosa/Zurich. Then, Zurich, Milano, Geneva, Lyon, Dijon, Paris, London. Trains in Switzerland even had phone/lap top chargers available at each seat. Just one minor disappointment; one of my seats was in a spot in the carriage where there was no window. Sometimes the train was high above the platform but I never had difficulty finding someone to help lift my heavy suitcase. "

    Simplon Tunnel | Ron b. | 2014/11/19
    "Quite an historic journey through to Milan and the engineering marvel of the Simplon tunnel. Train was great. Only trouble was there is a big gap during the day for trains through to Milan. We came from Chamonix to connect, but the earliest train just missed the morning services through to Milan. Had 4 hours to kill in Brig as a result. A service in the middle of the day would have been nice. "
