I Navigli

This area in Milan offers reasonably-priced restaurants and some of the city's most exciting nightclubs.

The canal path is a lovely setting for an afternoon stroll - as I did - or you can come here after 6pm when the evenings liven up with happy hour for food and drink at the many bars and restaurants that line the paths. It's a picturesque setting with walkways both sides of the canal and various bridges on route to stop and take photos from.

Piazza del Duomo

This busy and vibrant city square features the gothic cathedral, one of the largest in Europe.

Reviewed By Neilstewart46 - Castleford, United Kingdom

Your first trip to Milan would not complete without visiting this area. The ambience in this area is amazing. It gets a little busy but what do you expect from the scenic vistas and the shops in the area. One thing I would say is watch your personal belongings as according to the Locals there are a lot of pick pockets and thieves in the area who are very clever. We had breakfast and coffee at the Gran Caffe Visconteo which was very reasonable and the staff are brilliant and every helpful

Piazza Ducale

Reviewed By chrisdN4420YN

Beautiful and historical and always the social center. There is always something going on there. There was a car show there when we were there. All kinds of restaurants from high end to snacks and just coffee, even fast food. And surrounding the Ducale are streets filled with shops and even more great restaurants.

Passo di Gavia

Reviewed By Maitlandboy - Maitland, Australia

Lovely yet challenging ride from Bormio. Great scenery along the whole route. Plenty of motorcycle traffic to contend with, so caution is required. Was a wonderfully warm day, however I'm sure it could get a little chilly at the top.

Greenway del Lago di Como

The Lake Como Greenway is a leisurely and pleasant hike through ancient villages, stunning villas and gardens, romantic and baroque churches, by the breathtaking landscape of Lake Como.

Reviewed By Verointheworld - Lombardy, Italy

A 10,5 km course with a small difference in altitude about 200 mt from Colonno to Griante. It's fantastic path with amazing lake view. Everyone can this path from youngest to oldest. From Tremezzo to Griante the path is on the lakefront and you can visit the gardens of different villas. Moreover you can do the path fully (3 hrs) or a part of this, caming back with a ferry boat.

Reviewed By ljubimci - Belgrade, Serbia

We had no expectations about Sirmione, lake Garda was the beauty we've expected to see and meet, but Sirmione ended up to be one of the most beautiful places we've visited this spring on our Northern Italy trip! Warm, peaceful, green, clean, flowery, with beautiful small stores and restaurants, narrow streets full of flowers and nice people... and stunning lake Garda surrounding it from all of it's sides. Truly beautiful and breathtaking! Perfect place for holidays, vacation and finding peace inside of yourself... even for summer vacation, you have beautiful places for swimming... amazing. Truly.
