Milan
Ah,
Milan ... the Italian shoppers paradise and a mecca for art & opera lovers
... and only a short hop to Lake
Como in the Italian Alps for breathtakingly beautiful scenery. Yes,
Milan has it all - starting with Italian designer shopping at the historic and
world famous Galleria, the prototype for modern malls worldwide, and very close
in proximity to other attractions at the city's center. Also
don't miss a tour to the roof of the incredibly ornate Milan
Duomo (cathedral); or tickets to the La Scala Opera; and take at least
one trip to a world-class art museum including an upclose view of one of
Da Vinci's best-known masterpieces, "The Last Supper" at the church
of Santa Maria delle Grazie (reservations required). Getting
around: Although
lesiurely strolls around the city are the best way to see everything, Milan is
a busy and modern metropollis and easy to get around via bus, trolley or by subway.
Scenic Lake
Como, only an hour away from Milan, is also easily reached by regional service
from the Central or Cadorna stations connecting to regularly-scheduled ferry service
to such popular lakeside resorts as Bellagio and Varenna. More
