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.

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.

    Trip tainted by grubby railcar | Valentine s. | 2014/10/21
    "Very interesting trip, through some spectacular Alps scenery, with only a handful of stops. However, the railcar we were in was rather grubby, and my wife described the toilet as "disgusting". Overall though, an economical trip which afforded an excellent opportunity to check out the scenery. "

    Great Travel | Robin w. | 2014/10/16
    "A real surprise. Rail is a great alternative to air travel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The seats were really comfortable but I did not like seats that were face to face instead of being together. No option was given on seat selection. I hate travelling backwards. Other than this small issue it was a great experience. "

  • France #2 | John a. | 2014/10/15
    "Did not take this trip as planned flight into Marseille was cancelled and alternative train travel from Paris to Aivignon TGV was arranged. This train trip was very good and probably was a better option than that originally planned - fly Paris to Marseiile, train Marseille to Avignon. "

    Milan to Lyon | Carlo c. | 2014/10/14
    "Good fast train, but you have to buy your snacks in First Class. Pre paid tickets before we left and all was good, saved heaps of time and didn't need to wait in long long queues to buy locally. A bit slow because of the winding track and station pick ups in Italy, but still a good trip "
