With less than one hour by car or by train from Milan, among artistic treasures and magical landscapes, you can reach Lake Como, a popular destination for the international jet set, and Lake Maggiore, where to take your time among villas, gardens and breathtaking views. A little further is Lake Iseo, with its small medieval centers and nature trails, and Lake Garda, which attracts tourists from all over the world due to its clear waters and quaint villages.

From Milan, it only takes one hour to reach Bergamo, with its characteristic “Lower City” and “Upper City” surrounded by walls, and Brescia, with the castle and its monumental historical center, and only two hours to Verona, with the famous Arena and old town, UNESCO World Heritage Site. By train, in one hour you get to Bologna, city of art and culture (and good cooking), in two hours to Florence, the city cradle of the Renaissance, in two hours and half to Venice, the most romantic city in the world, one of a kind.

A hilly area just a few steps from Lake Iseo and Brescia, it is one of Italy’s most excellent wine areas: the fine Franciacorta DOCG, a sparkling wine praised all over the world, is produced here. You cannot miss a visit to a wine cellar (there are more than 100), as well as to the villages and castles in the area, without missing a stop at the lake and at the Torbiere nature reserve, that you can enjoy traveling along the Franciacorta Wine Route.

Shopping enthusiasts cannot miss Via Monte Napoleone, Via della Spiga and the luxury boutiques of Milan fashion district. Another shopping experience just unmissable awaits at the Serravalle Designer Outlet and Fidenza Village: just one hour by car from Milan, easily reachable by highway, there are exclusive boutiques with the best Italian brands at a discounted price all year long.
