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.

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.

    ROME TO FLORENCE | Vincent w. | 2014/10/13
    "This was a very pleasant Journey. Luggage is always a problem but with two couples it was relatively easy. We had no problems at Roma Termini locating the train and finding our seats. We were not bothered by people begging or offering help. We were dreading Termini but were pleasantly surprised. "

    Great rail system | Myles p. | 2014/10/09
    "Having recently traveled from Venice to Milan by rail my wife and I were more than happy with the network, ease of boarding, signage at the station and convenience of pre-purchasing tickets on line. I would definitely recommend Rail Europe to travelers wishing a trouble free relaxed transit in Europe as there is no check-in and being squeezed into impossibly small seats for the journey as would be the case with airline travel.

    Comfortable reliable service  | Susan w. | 2014/10/07
    "I was lucky to get a cheap deal for business class. What a difference that made! the seats are plush, and comfortable. Regular refreshment and newspaper service coming through during the trip. I didn't need either, so I don't know if it was free or not. Train on time. The business class carriages are the closest to the barriers, so you don't have to walk the whole length of the platform to get on the train - important with heavy luggage. even in economy class the train is comfortable enough if a little no frills. Convenient to be able to book tickets online and then print them off. No hitches at all on the 4 train trips I have booked through Rail Europe in Italy "

    Milan to Switzerland | Mark g. | 2014/09/28
    "The train wasn't that clean , ,comfort was average , no where for people with suitcases to store if they didn't fit above your head,the conductor who said what stations we where coming to needed to announce in English for the other travellers I had to ask what he was announcing ,Train was on time which was great the cost of the ticket I was expecting a more up market train , from previous trains that we had travel on , But I suppose what you pay for is what you get in return . Thanks Mark , Diane Gillies "

  • Paris to Milan | . | 2014/09/24
    "The convenience and comfort of train travel was demonstrated by our recent choice of TGV Paris to Milan. Avoiding all the hassle associated with airport travel and the extra time wasted waiting for international flights was eliminated by travel on the TGV. It left and arrived on time. The attendant in the carriage was extremely helpful and accommodating. The only complaint I would have was the lack of choice for the meals, a greater choice would have been appreciated, the risotto was lovely but the pizza unfortunate. "
